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.

1890's Bodice with Lace
From the seller:
This is a pretty lilac silk bodice. It is dripping in lace and really would have been something in it's day. It has some shattering and the underarms are damaged. Although it's torn it would still make an excellent study or display piece, or maybe it could be made into something else. Please send any questions thank you.
Bust 28"
Waist 22"
From Me:
Based on the size, I'm guessing this is a young miss bodice rather than an adult women's bodice.
