All The Pretty Dresses

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.

Edwardian Blue Bodice

From the seller:

Lovely blue antique victorian dress blouse.. needs some tlc.. needs buttons.. and some trim is absent in the back.. nice pleats. interesting for a fashion student.. or a play.. or a lover of antique clothing.. Measures.. 18" long.. sleeve 14".. armpit to armpit 18"

From Me:

This looks like it was a 1904 ish piece being remade into a later 1909-1911 piece. The neckline is unfinished and more inline with the later date.
