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 Tabard Gold Gown
From the seller:
The daring shape of the Tabard dress is one of the iconic designs of the 1920’s – a long beaded panel running down the front and back of the torso, linked by thin bands of shimmering sequins. This style allows for endless variations, as it can be worn over almost any shape of slip, dress, or pant to offer an entirely different look. The weight of the beading and sequins gives it an elegant drape which allows this one-size dress to accommodate from a size S to an XL.
One size…panel width 18", bust band 3", hip band 3", length 50"
From Me:
Dearest Seller, We do not wear vintage things like this. Something this old and this delicate will be destroyed if you attempt to wear it. No Love, Me
