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.

Your Moment of AWWWW!
From the seller:
This is such a beautiful little girl's Victorian dress but unfortunately it needs restoration. The dress is a sheer material with rows of lace and embroidery and fastens up the back with tiny covered buttons. The sheer material is fragile and starting to shatter mostly around the neck and down the back near the buttons (photos). The embroidered work is done on the sheer material and there are some breaks in it (photos). The dress has a detachable collar that matches the dress (photo). Pale blue silk ribbon trims the dropped waist, the collar, and the sleeves.
It measures:
chest....30 inches
neck....12 inches
dropped waist...40 inches
neck to hem....35 inches
sleeve....14 inches
