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.

1860's Undersleeves & Matching Collar
From the seller:
An exquisite set of 1860’s cotton under sleeves and matching collar. The sleeves and collar are both embroidered with white flowers and vines. The under sleeves have a wide flounce style cuff. The collar is small and would fit the neckline of a dress. Both are in very good and study condition. There are no holes and just a couple of tiny age spots. Sleeve length 20 inches. The collar is 15 inches around the neckline.
From Me:
So you know that just less than a yard of lovely embroidered scalloped trim that is always left over after sewing a petticoat? Here's what to do with it.
