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.

late 1860's/ Early 1870's Bodice
From the seller:
Antique iridescent green silk taffeta bodies , nice velvet details , buttons . Boned , with lining , many nice details . on real more nice green color.
From Me:
The seller is clearly new to antique clothing so I'll cut him/her a break. The style is very much early bustle. It's hard to tell if the waist is raised or not and what is really going on with it - it looks late 1860's to be but it could be 1870's as well.
