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.

Titanic Era Summer Dress
From the seller:
A beautiful 1912 Edwardian white cotton embroidered dress. The dress is embroidered with a large leaf patter. The centers of the leaves have open work lace. The bodice has a raglan style and long sleeves. The bodice is lined with net lace. The skirt is designed with three tiers and each tier has a scalloped edging. The skirt is lined with net lace. The bodice has a front snap closure and the skirt has a side closure. The dress comes with a separate silk tie belt. The dress is in crisp and clean condition. There is no underarm discoloration and just one tiny pencil tip size hole on the side of the bodice. Bust 32 Shoulders 15 Waist 22 Skirt length 40.
From Me:
I'd actually place it a year or two earlier because of the sleeves. Still, a lovely Edwardian piece!
