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.

Lovely 1920's Slip
From the seller:
Adorable 20's Deco Embroidered Boudoir Frock of palest pastel green Silk Crepe Bodice
with Very Full gathered palest pastel pink Silk Gossamer Chiffon Skirt,
& pretty eyelet Val Lace with pink satin ribbon for trim & straps.
The Embroidery in front has a Lovely Spray of Silk Embroidered wild Roses, hand done in shades of Rose
& pink with Bronze leaves & stems,
all hand done in very muted pastel shades, Victorian Royal Society type design & very tiny silk work.
Pullover style with no openings., side net inserts.
I would consider this Garment to be a medium in size.
Measurements are EXACT taken flat & doubled:
Bust 36"
Hip 36"
Length 33"
(model is 5'10" so the dress may hang longer on a shorter person)
EXCELLENT CONDITION!
No real Issues, a couple of pinholes and a tiny mark or two. There is general very slight overall surface wear as you would expect on a garment of this age.
Otherwise it is Sound, has been dry cleaned, pressed and is ready to wear. No discoloration or other stains
From me:
This was probably meant to go under another dress and not as a "boudoir frock".
