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.

Lovely Teens Era Purple Bodice
From the seller:
Vintage authentic 1900s Victorian/Edwardian purple silk "Waist" blouse. Has a great label marked "Mikolajeski and Pasternacki Cleveland". Has pale pink silk lining that is covered with blue silk which has attached metallic gold lace under the purple silk (from arms down). From the arm up there is a sheer underling. The arms have a pale pink figured silk lining. Has a V neck with pleated sides, accented with beading down the front, metallic lace and silk soutache trim on both sides of the front and the arms, underarm guards with lace trim. Has a lot going on. Also see our other great vintage items, we gladly combine shipping.
Very good vintage condition. Surpisingly no problems noted.
Measures
Chest-40"
Waist-29"
Length-16"
From Me:
The color and the sleeves remind of Sybil's dress during the first season of Downton Abbey. Although, I must admit, I think this bodice is even more lovely with the lace detail.
