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.

Zig Zag Edwardian Blue Suit
From the seller:
Slubby navy wool Edwardian walking suit dating to 1910-15. Imaginative closure design on the jacket with, velvet cuffs and collar, lined in silk satin, with old label... Back closing skirt with top stitched asymmetrical pleat across skirt and along the hem.. Found recently in estate that has been closed up for long time, the things were dusty, this will need to aired or dry cleaned, scattered small holes in the skirt. Chest measures 38", waist 32", length 30", sleeves 23". Skirt waist measures 26", length 40".
From Me:
Let's all just say it together; this was totally in Lady Mary's closet.
