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.

1890's Wrapper Dress
From the seller:
This is an amazing antique Victorian ladies day dress or wrapper! It has gorgeous lace and leg o mutton sleeves. It buttons with tiny bone buttons down the front. There are a couple of holes that I have pictured, but it's generally in good shape for it's age and could be worn carefully or displayed.
It's 52" long, 14" across the shoulders, 16" from armpit to armpit, 13" across the front of the waist, and 18" across the hips.
It just gorgeous and would make a great display or for reenactments!
From Me:
Sleeves of doom =1890's.
