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.

Very Late Teens Era Black Silk Net Dress
From the seller:
Beautiful Edwardian Black Lace Over dress
Satin bow and lace snap up front
16 1/2" from shoulder to shoulder
18" from shoulder to waist
29" from waist to hem of skirt including 4" of solid satin at bottom
From Me:
I'm tempted to say this *might* be very early 1920's but I'm thinking it's more WWI era. It's starting on the shape the 1920's dresses will take but it has a lot of the detailing that is more in line with the teens and the waist isn't quite "there" yet.
