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.

1860's (?) Undersleeves
From the seller:
Vintage probably 20s brown net dress sleeves. Has a silk cuff with snap closure. The tops have fanciful orange wool embroidered flower with cotton ecru squiggles. Also see our other great items, we gladly combine shipping. Buyer notifies in three days, pays shipping.
Very good vintage condition.
The wrist is 6 1/4" snapped closed, 16.5" long. The top part is 12" (gathered).
From Me:
I doubt these are from the 1920's. The shape looks like hundreds of other undersleeves I've seen for the 1860's. These were worn beneath the flared part of the sleeve and connected to the fitted upper part.
