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.

Pink Sleeping Cap
From the seller:
THIS IS A RARE ANTIQUE HANDMADE VICTORIAN SLEEP CAP OR BONNET. IT IS ONE OF A KIND, AN EXCELLENT FIND. OVERLAY IS A CROCHETED LACE. IT IS IN EXCELLENT WELL-PRESERVED CONDITION.
We pack our items very well, but we CANNOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR POST OFFICE OR UPS MISHANDLING. That is beyond our control. If you have any concerns then PLEASE REQUEST INSURANCE as it is not included in order to keep shipping cost down.
From Me:
I believe this is from the 1920's based on the styling. However, nightcaps like this were worn pretty much throughout history until the invention of electric heaters.
