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.

Peachy 1920's Greecian Style Dress
From the seller:
This exquisite vintage cream fringe filet lace pink silk rosette chemise slip flapper dress dates from the 1920s. It is made of a pale pink silk chiffon slip lining underneath, with an off white cream color sheer fine unique fringed filet lace floral pattern fabric overlay. This lovely lace dress is loose fitting, with a chemise straight shift style, sleeveless, with a pink silk gold lamé rosette flower trim on front neckline shoulder, pink silk chiffon shoulder straps and is fully lined. The dress measures 41 inches long, with 34 inch hips, a 32 inch waist and 34 inch bust. It is in good condition, with only a small grease smudge mark the bottom skirt (see close-up). This is truly a wonderful piece of wearable lace art!
From Me:
The style is probably from the earlier part of the decade.
