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.

Regency Era Child's Stays
From the seller:
A c. 18th Century child's stays. Measures 17.5" across when it is spread out. Had an old note attached to it dated 1940 saying it was 150 years old. From an old California rancho family. I have a couple of other amazing items (including a pre-raphaelite gown) from this sale that I will be adding as soon as i can find someone to model.
From Me:
I'd put these around the 1800-1815 time frame. So, not 18th C, but very early 19th!
