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.

1920's Ladies Swimsuit
From the seller:
This auction is one for a Fabulous Antique Swimaway Brand, black wool bathing suit. This is from the 1910s to 1920s. This suit is in great condition no spots, stains or odors. It has had a little alteration, it has been taken in a little.
Measurements are- (laying out flat)
Chest is 16" and double fot chest is 32" waist measures 16" double for waist is 32" length 32"
This is a real find.
This is in excellent contition. Has the tag. No moth holes. Nice dark black color. I beleive it is a mans suite, the women were way to modest back then to wear something this risque
From Me:
Bwahahah! Of the many things that can be said about ladies in the 1920's, modest is not one of them. No, this is very much a lady's swimsuit. You can tell by the slight skirt and the tag of a lady swimming. Honestly, I bet this would still sell today if it came in a different color and had trim around the edge of the skirt.
