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.

Young Girl's Hoop
From the seller:
A rare child’s 1860 Civil War era hoop cage. The cage is made of stripe linen straps and linen covered wire hoops. The cage is being offered in as found condition. There is scattered age discoloration and the waistband would need replacement. This can be seen in the photos. Waist 22 Length 13 ½.
From Me:
AWWWWW!!!
The fashion plate is from 1864 and shows how this hoop would have been worn.
