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.

1860's Ball Gown Bodice
From the seller:
An enchanting 1860’s Civil War era gold silk evening bodice. The bodice is decorated with bands of pleated pink silk. It has short puffed sleeves. The neck, armscyes and waist are piped. The bodice is lined with cotton and has a back lacing closure. The original lacing is missing. The bodice is in very good condition. There are no splits or holes. There is underarm discoloration mostly under one arm. Bust 34 Waist 23.
From Me:
I love the look of the pink silk against the gold.
