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.

1890's Dress with Fabulous Print
From the seller:
Offering a great Victorian jacket and skirt in a beautiful print on a rich Mulberry purple back round. The jacket is fitted and has leg of mutton sleeves with a standup collar and a hook and eye closure front. The skirt has a waistband and is very full and flowing. The jacket measures Bust~32 Length~18 with holes and stains in the armpit area. the front closure area also has stress splits and tears. The skirt measures 26 waist and is 37 with some repair to the waistband seaming and some holes near the top of the front waist but no holes in the remainder of the skirt. One of the prettiest of prints and a superb Victorian design!
Shipping will be either Parcel Post or Priority Mail with tracking. Please be sure to check my other listings for more great finds as I am happy to combine wins to save on postage. International buyers are responsible for any taxes or duties their county may impose and these charges are not included in the shipping rate. Thank you!
From Me:
The colors don't come through on the photos based upon the seller's comments. It sounds pretty fabulous - a nice dark purple with that yellow tan and teal flower?
