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.

White Netting Teens Era Dress
From the seller:
This is a beautiful vintage tambour lace dress with inset lace panels. I would date it to the 1920's or 30's. It is small in size and has a few issues but overall I'd say it is in very good condtion. The dress features a portrait collar, flared sleeves and a handkercheif hem overskirt. The collar had a hole in it as pictured in #4 and the interior net lace under the arms is ripped. I also notice a missing snap on the back and a couple of random holes in the net lace. This would be pretty with a pink slip underneath and a matchin satin ribbon around the waist. How feminine! Please feel free to email me with any questions you may have as I am not an expert regarding antique clothing. Also, check out the other vintage dresses I am listing tonight.
From Me:
The bodice looks a little funny but I think it's just the way it's displayed on the modern dress form. It's not from the 1920's, but a lovely example of Teens era wear.
