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.

And BLUE! Bustle Era Bodice
From the seller:
This is an amazing Victorian turquoise blue silk velvet bodice. The color is unique and awesome! Garment has 15 black crochet covered buttons that are diagonally placed down front of bodice. Long sleeves, pleated tails with corded trim and tassels. Garment is lined with brown polished cotton. It looks as though it has never been worn. Very light wear to velvet. Nothing real noticeable.
Bust 32"
Waist 24"
Shoulder to shoulder 12"
Back of neck to tassel end 30"
Sleeve 22-1/2"
From Me:
It looks more like a royal blue to me but that may just be the pictures.
