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.

Teens Era Day Dress
From the seller:
Description :
~Gorgeous Edwardian Dress~Gown~
This auction is for one beautiful Edwardian dress. This dress is made of delcate french tambour net lace in a ivory color and is it in amazing condition. This lovely gem would be perfect as a wedding or bridal gown for someone who is looking for an antique "ONE OF A KIND" dress for that very special day. There are 2 layers of very beautiful french tambour lace for the skirting, 3/4 sleeves, the original velvet fabric flower is pinned at the waist, there is a silver lame fabric insert on the front and back bodice. The dress is lined in a cream colored silk & cotton batiste, there are a couple small storage spots on the lining. The back closes with snaps & eye hook closures. I could not find any breaks in the lace only a couple of storage spots (as shown). I have not laundered this lovely gem, I will leave that to the lucky winner. This dress is structurally sound~it is in excellent wearable~displayable condition. The photos just do not capture the true charm of this lovely gem. I will be happy to supply more photos upon request.
Measurements~ Bust~ Arm Pit to Arm Pit 16" Waist ~ 12" (these measurements are side to side flat across) Shoulder to Hem ~ 48"
From Me:
I really love the nice silver background for the lace. Imagine how this would shimmer as you moved!
