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.

Ribbon Embroidered on Lace 1920's Dress
From the seller:
Spectacular French silk ribbonwork with chenille accents is embroidered silk lace run with gold metallic thread on this 1920's couture Kiviette labeled flapper dress. The size is extra small and the body of the dress is peach silk satin crepe trimmed at the neckline with lace and ribbon work matching the lower skirt. The bodice is silk lined, and the skirt is lined with silk chiffon trimmed with 5 large ribbonwork bows. The dress has a side closure with snaps.
The skirt lace is 17" deep by 2 1/3 yards. The ribbonwork is 6" deep
Condition: some soiling around the inside neckline, faint spots across the bodice back, lace on the bodice is fragile but could be stabilized by underlining with new tulle.
Measurements: length from shoulder 41", bust 34", waist 28
This very special couture 1920's dress was part of a luxurious trousseau. Check our other listings for more pieces from this group.
From Me:
I saved the entire group's photos. This is beyond gorgeous stuff.
