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.

American Civil War Era Printed Dress
From the seller:
A charming 1860’s green, gray and white plaid open weave cotton dress. The bodice is decorated with bands of black velvet ribbon trim. The front of the bodice is trimmed with black velvet decorative buttons. The bodice is lined with cotton and has a front hook and eye closure. The neck, armscyes and waist are piped. The skirt is unlined except for a wide band of cotton at the edge of the hemline. The dress is in very good condition. There are no holes or splits in the fabric. There is mild underarm discoloration mostly to the inside cotton lining and age discoloration on the lining along the edge of the hemline. A very sweet display dress. Bust 32 Waist 24 Skirt length Width at hemline 130.
From Me:
A nice simple but smart looking dress.
