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.

Sports Corset
From the seller:
An attractive 1890’s cotton sport corset. The corset has boning just on the sides. The label reads H & W. It has a front button closure and back lacing. The lacing is original to the corset. The corset has adjustable shoulder straps. The corset is in good condition. There is some minor fraying on the binding at the top and bottom and one section of the bottom point has been cut and re-stitched. (See photo.) Bust 31 Waist 24 Hips 30 The length varies with the adjustable shoulder straps
From me:
This, ladies, was the Sports Bra of the late Victorian age.
