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.

Mismatched Pair of Shoes from the Romatic Era
From the seller:
Antique c 1830’s Mismatched Pair of Single Ladies Shoes for Study
This auction is for two single unmatching shoes, one in a blue silk, the other in a butter brown kid leather, both c 1830’s, both trimmed in bows atop the vamp. The silk has started to pull away from the side, leather has minor age scuffing. The blue measures 9 inches in length, the brown 9 ½ inches.
From Me:
The blue one is actually 1840's. It has a left last rather than a straight last.
