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
From the seller:
This is a pretty pale pink silk bodice with bow detail at the neck. The lace on the front has come off and one sleeve is shattering but this would still make a very nice study or display piece. Please send any questions thank you.
From Me:
This must have been a beauty in it's day. The bodice is from the 1890's, based on the sleeves, and I would have love to have seen the skirt that would have matched it in it's day.
