All The Pretty Dresses

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.

1870's Brown Afternoon Dress

From the seller:

This is a nice three piece Victorian dress. It has beautiful buttons down the front of the bodice and pretty satin details. This is in good shape but there is discoloration under the arms. Please send any questions thank you.
Skirt waist 28"
Jacket Bust 36"
Waist 30"

From Me:

Based on the skirt shape and the back of the jacket, I'm guessing 1870's for this piece. It's definitely Bustle Era.
