All The Pretty Dresses

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.

Blue/Green Bustle Era Dress

From the seller:

VINTAGE ANTIQUE VICTORIAN WOMANS DARK GREEN HANDMADE EVENING GOWN DRESS c1890

Beautiful Victorian era blue evening gown with applied scroll embroidery. 100% original. In nice condition with beautiful applied scroll design on the top and bottom. A few small moth holes that are possibly repairable. Bust is 32, Waist 27. From top to bottom it is 54 long. The top is not completely buttoned in the photo. The dress form I have is slightly too large and I did not want to force it.

Absolutely beautiful!

From Me:

To me, it looks blue/green but that might just be the camera. Not an evening gown - most likely a visiting or other day dress- and not 1890's. I think it's 1880's - you can clearly see the bustle.
