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.

Silk Turn of the Century Bodice
From the seller:
This is a beautiful satin silk victorian bodice, yummy blue green color, in extraordinary no hole, no wear, beautifully tailored condition. It has gold sequin and beading trim which is probably a later edition - easily removed, or repaired. It is very tiny.
Actual measurements:
22" sleeves;
15" armpit to armpit, across the back
23" waist
14.5" center back neck to bottom of bodice.
From Me:
It's too bad that the front stomacher/placket piece is missing. I would have loved to see what was paired with all that crazy trim.
