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.

1890's Brown Print Dress
From the seller:
A fetching 1890’s brown cotton print one piece dress. The fabric has a white pattern. The bodice has a green velvet collar, front lapels and sleeve cuffs. The velvet is outlined with light brown silk braiding. The bodice has full leg of mutton style sleeves. It is fully lined with cotton. The lining has a front button closure. The dress is in very good condition. There are no splits or holes in the printed cotton or velvet fabrics. There is splitting on the inside lining mostly in the sleeves. A very pretty display dress. Bust 32 Waist 26 Length from shoulder to hem 52.
From Me:
I kinda like the play of the velvet accents on this dress.
