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.

Yellow Late 1920's Dress
From the seller:
This dress measures 38" around the bust, 36" around the waist, 38" around the hips and is 33" long from under the arm to the bottom. The overall condition is good. Several seams are stressed a little, there is a tiny hole at the bottom of the neckline in the front and a small stain on the front near the waist. The color of the dress might show a little brighter in the photos. The color has also darkened slightly in areas over the years but the overall look is great.
From Me:
Once you get rid of the corset, the measurements suddenly become modernly normal. This is a modern 10.
