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.

Black Edwardian Dress
From the seller:
Antique Edwardian Mourning tissue silk dress , floor down length, very full skirt ( no lining) nice sleeves , trimmed with fine silk lace on front , closure on front with hooks , black tissue silk ,good wearable condition , has small hole on sleeve ( what not to mush visible)
Size like M ( not to small) .Great for costuming .
From Me:
/facepalm We do not use antique tissue silk dresses for costuming. This is how we loose great gowns that could have told us a ton of information. Some of us learn the hard way but really. No. Just No.
