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.

From the seller:
Sweet wisteria colored linen summer frock dating to the first decade of the 20thc. Lace top with hook and eye closures off to one side. Linen and lace sleeves, linen interior waist cincher, skirt with eyelet, embroidery and horizontal tucks. In very good antique uncleaned as found condition missing some hooks and eyes and slight fade to linen along shoulders. Chest measures 34", waist 24", sleeves 13", length 54", shoulder to waist 14".
From Me:
Although it's rather simple looking at first, I really love the neckline details.
