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.

Bustle Era Bodice
From the seller:
This victorian jacket is made very well! It has black glass beading in the lapels and on the sleeves and is exquisite. The buttons are original but some of the cloth covering is missing on some of them.I see no other defects such as holes or tears. Lovely piece.
From Me:
Yes, that is all the seller said. The high neckline and the tail in the back indicate an 1880's date for this bodice. I love the faux jacket look with the button front. Very cute.
