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.

Early Edwardian Dress
From the seller:
This Auction is for A Ladies Victorian / Edwardian Era Ladies Dress.
Made of Champagne/Ivory Silk. After measuring I would assume this dress to be a size 8/10.
Measurements~
Waist: 26 inches
Sleeves: 17 inches
Bust: 38 inches
Waist to Hemline: 40 inches
Sweep: 120 inches
Dress has hook and eye closures at the back. Lace insert at neckline and applique lace detail at waistline. Dress does have rips and tears with some staining. Being sold as-is because I think restoration is not possible but could possibly be repurposed. Perfect for display, research or study. Please refer to pictures for further details
From Me:
Probably about 1906 give or take a couple of years.
