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.

Turn of the Century Black Lace Skirt
From the seller:
Victorian Skirt w Elaborate Trim / Train w- 29
This beautiful Victorian skirt is made from black tulle and it's elaborately trimmed with soutache and lace. It has a large lace flower in front and vines and flowers made from soutache. There's a ruffle around the bottom with a scalloped bottom and a narrow tissue silk ruffle. Under the tulle is another layer of tissue silk and it's lined in taffeta. The tulle has some small holes that will easily mend and a long tear at the bottom edge that will mend up OK. The tissue silk has some tears that will need mending, but overall, it held up pretty well for tissue silk. The taffeta is pretty good, but has some stress tears under the waistband, the rest of the taffeta is good. It measures 29 inches around the waist, hips are full and it's 40 inches long in front, dipping to a train in back.

From Me:
This really could go either way of the 1890's/1900's line.
