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.

Late Victorian Shoes!
From the seller:
Inventory no: shoe 328
Stunning 1890 ,beautiful hand beaded evening wedding shoes.
Mrs. Charles Gram worn these on her wedding in 1890.
She bought these in Paris ,France
Her "visit" card came with the shoes with the date information.
I am sure that the original color was a wonderful light
green,as well as the satin bow and of course the marcasite
cut steel beads were bright and shiny.
A short "Louie" heel finishes off the wonderful piece of
fashion history,
The edging of the shoes used to be silver as well.
