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.

Teens Era Black Beaded Dress
From the seller:
This beautiful Edwardian gown is made from black tulle and is elaborately trimmed with black sequins. It hooks down the side and along the waist to the center back as well as on the shoulder. It has long fitted tulle sleeves banded with ruched ruffles, around the wrists, trimmed with sequins and there's a short flared sleeve trimmed with sequins. Around the bottom are 2 layers of sequined tulle with the finished scalloped edging. The tulle and sequins are excedllent, the lining needs to be removed or replaced. It would be easy just to remove it and wear it over a petticoat, an ivory or pink would be lovely to show the beading. The tulle has a few minor tears in the back where the skirt is fuller. IT measures 29 1/2 inches around the waist, bust is 42, hips are 48, across the back shoulder is 13 inches and it's aboiut 55 1/2 inches long from the shoulder and from the waist is 37 1/2 inches.
From Me:
Early teen's era gown. I do love that the seller put a white sheet beneath the tulle so you can truly see the beauty of the detailed work on this dress. Yay!
