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.

1920's Bed Gown top
From the seller:
NOTE: This is a vintage item which means that it is more than 30 years old. All vintage/antique items have been worn unless stated otherwise. Please keep this in mind before purchasing. Thank you :)
We are pleased to offer this fabulous tunic circa 1917-1920 inspired by designer Paul Poiret.
FABRIC: The lovely tunic is fashioned from a semi-sheer, soft and wispy silk crepe in a shade of very pale melon green. The entire tunic is hand done with intricate details.
The Tunic:
The top features a flowing silhouette with a deep "V" neckline and 3/4 length caftan/kimono sleeves both decorated with pleated ivory tulle.
The neckline is decorated with a pin-tuck yoke adorned with lovely silk ribbon roses. Each "bow" of the rosette is twisted/knotted in the middle and decorated with yellow floss in the center.
The tunic has long sides with matching ivory hanging tassels. This was perhaps made for the boudoir but it is nice enough to be worn as a blouse.
**Please note that that is shown with tulle knickers which are not part of the blouse or included in this sale. Thank you**

This is in near EXCELLENT and READY TO WEAR condition with the following flaws to note:
1) This has a slight shadow under the arms which will not be noticeable when worn.
2)There is a pinhole at the front and two brown spots close to the flowers. Please see the last photo
From Me:
Not a Poiret. More likely inspired by Boue Soeurs if not one their creations. And yes, it is a pajama top.
