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.

1910's, not 1960's
From the seller:
Antique Silk & Lace Dress
Blue Floral
Built-in Corset
SIZING
19" Armpit to wrist
15" Across Waist
19" Across Shoulders
57" From Bottom of Dress to top of Neck/Shoulders
52" height on short side
Dress height is tapered from L to R about 5 inches
CONDITION
This is an antique dress and it is fragile.
There are no tears, rips or the like per my inspection. But I imagine if you buy this dress, it will require some sort of adjustment. There are some darker "stains" on the solid blue part near the floor. I took a photo of them, but it is hard to see (see photos).
NOTE
I am not a dress expert. Dimensions are approximate. Please advise if more images and measurements are needed. Dress is made of antique material. Is it an antique dress or a modern dress made from antique material, I am not sure. The dress is beautiful and delicate.
From Me:
I know. Those colors! But, it is from the teens era.
