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.

1890's Brown Bodice
From the seller:
Victorian Brown Silk Bodice w Brocade / Silk Chiffon Sm .
This beautiful Victorian bodice is made from brown silk with a pretty brocade and the neck. The sleeves have emboirdered silk chiffon in rust that picks up the rust in the brocade, it's gathered around the wrists and peeks out from flaps that are around the bottom of the sleeves. It's lined with bones in the seams. BUst is 31 inches, waist is 22 inches, across the back shoulder is 10 inches and shoulder to center front bottom is 17 3/4 inches. Excellent condition.
From Me:
It looks like this was a sari or many a shawl in a former life.
