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.

Za Cuteness! It burns!!!!!
From the seller:
Fabulous 1860's tiny child's dress. Made from pale green plaid wool and linen fabric. The tiniest amount of fabric was cut from the raw seam and burn tested to verify this. The stains on the front under the collar are much more muted in person. The trim on the scalloped edging appears to be velvet that has worn right through the nap. Measures 16" long and 11" across the shoulders. No buttons remain. This incredible dress is in EXCELLENT antique condition. Do not miss it!!!
From Me:
I'm rather aghast that the seller would actually CUT an extant piece like this to fabric test it. Seriously? If you are that curious, microscopes were invented!
