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.

Cutest 1920's Nightie!
From the seller:
21" bust, measured flat for a total of 42" circumference at bottom of armholes, length is 54" - approximately. There are a total of fourteen ribbon roses, seven clusters of two. Beautiful satin "Saks Fifth Avenue, N.Y." label sewn into the neckline. This is a gorgeous nightgown. The new owner will be very pleased with the beautiful details of this antique nightgown.
This lovely original 1920s silk nightgown is being auctioned "as is", I do not accept returns. Please request additional photos or information if needed to make a proper decision prior to placing your bid. Be sure to check the measurements against a garment that fits you well. You must be smaller than the above measurements to ensure a proper fit. Thank you!
From Me:
All I can think about is those pockets. They must have had rolled up handkerchiefs in them at some point. This would be delightful in the summer, when the a/c has gone out, and you are sick....because it has pockets!!!!
