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.

I thought, for this post, to pick out something I like that wasn't overly ornate but still was something jaw dropping. I think this fits the bill, don't you? And yes, it probably was originally black.

Congratulations on 1500! Wow!
ReplyDeleteHey, she's gorgeous in chocolate brown. :-)
This was my ancestor's company, and I've been dying to find pictures of their designs! All I have are their old clothing labels. Any chance you've seen other designs by them?
ReplyDeleteHow cool! I don't recall any others but I'll keep my eye out.
DeleteI actually have a dress with this same label and in the same color, just a different design. Would love to know more about the company that made it.

DeleteIs there a way to send you a picture of the dress?
