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.

1880's Purple Bodice
From the seller:
Aubergine silk bodice w/silk velvet insertion, carved mother of pearl buttons, sweet ruffled watch pocket at side, split tails at the back, fully lined with stays. In excellent well made condition, slight small discoloration under arms. Chest measures 32", waist 24", sleeves 20", length in front 19".
From Me:
It looks like a collar was taken out and they never finished re-constructing the garment.
