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.

1900's Cotton Slip with lace
From the seller:
An enchanting 1912 Belle Epoch era full cotton and lace trimmed slip. The neckline and armscyes are trimmed with lace. The neckline has a pink satin drawstring. The hemline has a double tiered ruffled bottom. The top tier is trimmed with inserts of lace. The slip has a front button closure. It is in very good condition. There are a couple of pencil tip size holes and a few scattered small age spots. This is a very wearable slip. Bust 36 Waist 28 Length from shoulder to hem 61.
From Me:
What struck me about this is you can easily see the seam lines. It looks fairly simple and would be great to re-create for under a late 1900's/early 1910's dress.

What a lovely example of a princess petticoat! At least, that was what it was called back in the 1880s.
