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.

Mid to late 1860's Toddler's Dress
From the seller:
We are selling a large collection of antique clothing that came from a remarkable auction several years ago. All had been accumulated in a trunk by an early New England family. We are selling the items that did not have good identification or had some minor condition issues. Please check our other auctions to see all 60 items eventually listed.
This is a charming piece for a child of 2 or 3. Red, black and off white plaid wool with 3/8 in black tape trim.
This is all hand sewn and buttons up the back. Over all in good shape, there are a couple small holes and some repaired holes on the skirt.
From Me:
This was too super sweet not to post. Based upon the waistline, I'm thinking more 1865 than earlier. Very cute!
