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.

How to stay warm, 1890's style
From the seller:
A rich 1895 burgundy silk and velvet coat. The coat has full leg of mutton style sleeves and a high neck collar. The collar shoulders and front opening are made of velvet. The velvet fabric has a unique checker board pattern. The coat has a front hook and eye closure and a decorative braided burgundy frog closure below the neckline. The back waist is trimmed with a braided burgundy appliqué that has long tassels. The coat is lined with blue silk. It is in very good condition. There is some light soiling on the edge of the hemline and the lining is splitting. Bust 32 Waist 28 Hips 34 Length 51.
