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.

1920's Ivory Gown
From the seller:
for your consideration, this estate sale find! what a bombshell gown, ivory with sequin and glass beading and SILK satin shirring around the neck and armholes!!...this was lovingly preserved for many years, has a very gauze-like slip sewn right in! A lovely flowing cut gown to show off all the right curves, and to show off the posterior side and the hips as well!!...and is a very flattering style..measurements are approximately to 38" bust, 40" waist, 42 hip..length is overall 42" from shoulder.. no fabric content labels, but the dress is very linen, lace, and light weight and summery...Dress is perfectly wearable right now as is. see photos. Over the head entry...there are a couple of faint character spots, one of which I can't even seem to photograph it is so faint..see last two photos...Absolutely a treasure which is crying to be worn! Good luck bidding! Payment due within 48 hours of bid close.
From Me:
I'm almost tempted to say this is a wedding gown based on the lace, silk, and beading.
