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.

Edwardian White Bodice with Ribbons
From the seller:
Authentic 1890s Wedding Bodice
White dotted cotton net with ivory silk satin ribbon
Lined in white cotton
Open high neckpiece,( not sure how it was worn)
Faint spot on shawl collar, small sang, 3/8" hole and stain on sleeve
otherwise in wonderful condition
Small size, approximate measurements, 30" bust, 21"waist
From Me:
I think this would be an awesome contender for a recreation as part of the Historical Fortnightly White challenge. Just sayin'
It's an early 1900's (notice the pigeon front?)and looks like it would be quite comfortable in July given the nice net. :-)
