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.

Cane Ribbed Bonnet
From the seller:
This is an ivory silk taffeta caned bonnet from the 1840-1850 period and is a little different from the other one I have listed. The bonnet is a nice display piece. The sheer silk lining is fragile and torn inside the brim as pictured and could be hidden with some decorative flowers or other millinery trims. Thanks for looking.
From Me:
As I said before, I'm not nearly as good with hats as I am with dresses, but the 1840's sounds about right for this bonnet.
