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.

1880's Lavender Bodice
From the seller:
Antique Victorian women's lavender silk bodice - VGC!
This antique Victorian bodice is a beautiful piece, in very good condition. It is fully lined with a striped polished cotton, which peeks through at the neckline and hem of the sleeves, where it is edged with a small braided cord. This bodice would be a wonderful addition to your collection, and could be worn by a very small woman.
CONDITION: Very good condition, with about 10 tiny pinholes.
It is probably a size extra small, and the measurements are approximately as follows:
Bust - 32"
Waist - 22"
Length - 21"
From Me:
This bodice is odd. Some of the styling hints at the 1870's, others at the very early 1890's....hence why I'm sticking it smack in the middle.
