All The Pretty Dresses

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.

Poss. Turn of the Century Bolero

From the seller:

UP FOR SALE IS A BEAUTIFUL ANTIQUE VICTORIAN BODICE. HAS MATCHING HAND PAINTED BUTTONS THROUGHOUT. 14" FROM SHOULDER TO SHOULDER, 19" FROM END OF SLEEVE TO SHOULDER AND 18" FROM FRONT BOTTOM TO SHOULDER. HAS ONE BAD SEPERATION TEAR ON ONE SLEEVE. SLEEVES BALLOON OUT. TWO SMALLER MATCHING BUTTONS ON THE SLEEVES. TWO ON THE BACK, ONE ON THE INSIDE AND 2 LARGER ONES ON THE FRONT. THIS PIECE COULD BE OLDER THAN VICTORIAN. GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY BIDDING!!

From Me:

I'm hesitant to call this Turn of the Century or anything other than vintage. I think this is just a very good theater piece based upon the buttons and the lining.
