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.

Hot Pink Late 1900s/early Teens Era Dress
From the seller:
This is an absolutely amazing and wonderful Edwardian era dress. It is in pretty delicate condition, would make a great study piece, but it is not in good enough shape to wear it. It is lined with a silk, silk chiffon and lace lining. There are tears in several spots throughout the lining. The outside is a bright PINK satin or a taffeta, I don't really know. It is in pretty good condition considering the age. It has this gold colored embroidered flowers through the lace at the neckline and on the pink part of the dress. The dress is pretty tiny. It does not fit my dress form. I pinned it so you can see how it might fit. It's pretty difficult to measure accurately. Measurements are taken while garment is lying flat, chest and waist are then doubled and are as follows:
BUST: Approximately 30"
WAIST: Approximately 28"
LENGTH: Approximately 50" from top of shoulder
From Me:
A part of me thinks this is hideous but I'm also pretty sure that it's just because it doesn't fit the dress dummy properly.
