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.

1920's Velvet Coat
From the seller:
Vintage French Page Couture Silk Velvet Metallic Bronze Gold Lame Opera Coat c. 1922
An art deco gold silk velvet opera coat with shirred collar and sleeves very similar to one we sold that had shirring with rows of hand applied dazzling rhinestones (sold for $1600 at our Salon).
Yellow silk lining has disintegrated unfortunately, but can be replaced by a skilled seamstress. Fits and drapes majestically. No closures. A well made vintage piece that will have an excellent investment outlook once the lining is restored. Exterior is exellent with only a small 1/2 inch spot on the left sleeve that is non-significant.
Coat is very clean and has no odors.
Label: Arnold Constable & Co. Fifth Avenue, New York
WIll fit up to size 4 comfortably. Petite.
Measurements:
Shoulders: 15.5 inches
Sleeves: 22 inches
Bust: 40 inches (open)
Waist: 44 inches (open)
Hips: free
Front Length: 44 inches
From Me:
If you look at the picture of the back, this is so very much a 1920's coat. I like the shirred collar and sleeves. This would actually go well with the gown I just posted...hmmm...
