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.

Two Black Natural Form (?) Skirts
From the seller:
For your consideration is this Victorian Black Silk (I think) Mourning Ruffled Skirt and Petticoat. The skirt has 3 rows of detailed ruffles, gored all around. It measures about 38" long and the waist is about 12 1/2" lying flat across. The skirt has a number of tears. The Petticoat has 3 rows of ruffles and drawstring waist. It measures about 32" long, and appears to be in nice condition.
From Me:
I think these are Natural Form but it's very hard to tell from the blurry pictures. I wanted to include them, however, because I love the ruffles. :-) And the close up on those are pretty decent photos.
