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 Blue and White Bonnet
From the seller:
An enchanting 1860’s taupe and royal blue silk spoon bonnet. The ruched taupe fabric is laid over a wire base. The bonnet is lavishly pleated royal blue silk. The bonnet is also trimmed with thin bands of black lace. The back is decorated with a large taupe and royal blue silk bow and streamers. The bonnet has a 4 ½ inch back curtain. The inside brim is lined with black net lace and the crown area is lined with buckram. The bonnet is in very good condition. As can be seen in the photos there is one missing chin tie. There are a couple of small pea size spots and light soiling on the remaining chin tie. There is a small section of missing lace on the front brim. A wonderful bonnet to add to any collection.
From Me:
Again, same seller and he deletes his pictures quickly. (It has to do with server space and he lists a LOT of items so...)
