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.

The fabric is a beautiful purple, red, brown and blue silk tone-on-tone and the lining is polished cotton.
The bodice closes up the back with thirteen brass hook and eyes.

Measures: Bust 32, Waist 24, Hips , Shoulders 15, Sleeves 5 1/2, Neck 13, Length 15 1/2 (shoulder to hem), Cuff 12.
The bodice is in good to excellent condition with the under arm stain, no rips, no tears or no holes.
The bodice is very nice looking and would make a nice display piece or for study.
The bodie would be a great addition to your vintage wardrobe or your collection.
Thank you for your interest in my auction if you like what i have posted, please view my other auctions.
Now for all of the stuff that no one reads... All sales are final.
From Me:
Very 1840's in style. Long torso, the shoulders, and the cute lil sleeves are all indicative of the 1840's.
