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.

Soft Yellow 1890's Ball Gown
From the seller:
A delightful 1985 sunny yellow silk faille evening dress that has a New York City label. The label reads Mrs. E Boulphin, 206 West 24th Street.
The bodice has full leg of mutton style sleeves. The bodice is decorated with yellow chiffon and bands of beading. The beading is white, yellow blue, pink and tiny gold bugle beads. The bodice is lined with yellow silk and has a front hook and eye closure. The skirt is lined with buckram and yellow silk. The gown is in very good and clean condition. There is no underarm discoloration, splits or holes. The gown is a small size and might have been worn by a young debutant. Bust 30 Waist 22 Skirt length 40 ½.
From Me:
Feb, 1896. :-)
