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.

From the seller:
EXCEPTIONALLY RARE TITANIC ERA EDWARDIAN BEADED DRESS THIS PERIOD DRESS IS THE MOST FRAGILE OF DRESSES I OWN. EVEN THOUGH THIS DRESS IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION AND HAS SOME FLAWS, IT SHOULD ONLY BE USED FOR PORTRAIT PHOTOS OR DISPLAY IF IT IS TO REMAIN INTACT - THIS IS A FINAL SALE ITEM

THE CONDITION OF THE DRESS IS VERY GOOD EXCEPT FOR THE RIGHT LAVENDER SILK SATIN SLEEVE WHICH HAS SOME SHREDDING ON THE UNDERARM AREA AND IS MOSTLY COVERED BY THE BEADED SLEEVE
SHEATH AND A BIT OF WEAKNESS LINES ON THE LEFT SLEEVE
I ORIGINALLY PRICED THE DRESS AT $2250.00 BUT I HAVE REDUCED IT BECAUSE OF THE SLEEVE DAMAGE
THERE IS SOME BEADED REPAIR ON THE LEFT SLEEVE SHEATH THAT IS PROFESSIONALLY RESTORED BUT FRAGILE AND CAN EASILY BE REMOVED
THERE ARE TWO OR THREE PIN HOLES IN THE SKIRT THAT ARE NOT NOTICABLE
THERE ARE A FEW TINY RUST SPOTS IN THE SKIRT AND SOME RUST SPOTTING HIDDEN ON THE FRONT UNDER THE BEADED CHIFFON SHEATH
THE SIZE IS A LARGE 14+
42 INCH BUST
45 INCH LENGTH
35 INCH WAIST
46 INCH HIPS
23 INCHES CUFF TO SHOULDER SEAM
32 INCH SLEEVE CUFF TO CENTER COLLAR
17 INCHES FROM SHOULDER TO SHOULDER SEAMS
From Me:
No, I don't know why the seller used all caps...
Anyway, the dress has a lower waistline than we associate with the early "Titanic" part of the teens. Also, a lot of the styling in the beading is what we are more used to seeing in the early 1920's. So, this is probably around 1915.
