This is a place for any extant garments in private collections from about 1941 back. There is no beginning date. The only rule is that it can't be currently in a museum and must be before the bombing of Pearl Harbor. I mostly post items I've seen on ebay, etsy, or other auction sites so we will continue to have a record of them for research purposes. If you have antique clothing in your collection, please, email me pictures of them and I will gladly add them to this site.

1840's Bodice Striped!
From the seller:
A splendid 1840’s black satin and stripe bodice. The bodice is all hand stitched. The fabric has a red, green and white stripe pattern on a black background. The bodice has a boned pointed front waist. The neckline, shoulders, armscyes, waist and center panel are all piped. The bodice is lined with home spun linen and is padded in the bust area. The bodice has a back hook and eye closure. It is in excellent condition. There are no holes and no underarm discoloration. The lining has scattered pin size age spots. Bust 32 Waist 24.
From Me:
I bid on this one but got out bid in the last few minutes. The fabric looks almost modern in color but the styling is very much typical for the 1840's.
