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.

Late teens/Early 1920's Summer Dress
From the seller:
A dreamy 1920’s embroidered white cotton tea dress. The dress is embroidered with large sprays of morning glories and leaves. The centers of the flowers and parts of the leaves are embroidered with light mint green. The dress is made in the slip on style. It is in very good and wearable condition. It is crisp and clean. There are no holes and no underarm discoloration. Bust 38 Dropped waistline 38 Hips 48 Length from shoulder to hemline 50.
From Me:
Based on the length, I'm thinking more around 1919-1922.
