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.

1920's Polka Dot Dress
From the seller:
Pretty 20's vintage Flapper Work Dress made from Navy Blue Cold Crepe with tiny white Polka dots!
Pretty "V" neckline, with Bold White Lace Collar & Removable Handmade tape lace Flounce!
Simple Sacque style , Skirt has medium Gathering. Drop Waist has attached wide belt with Mother of Pearl Buckle. Pullover style has opening under arm on right side that extends into the skirt, closes with snaps.
Flounce has a brooch back, that unpins.
I would consider this Garment to be a Small to Medium
Measurements are EXACT taken flat:
Bust 36"
Drop Waist/Hip 36"
Length 44"
(mannequin is 33-24-25 / 5'9" tall)
From Me:
Lol! Not a work dress - just a nice day dress. I love how pretty this looks despite it being very simple in cut and in style. There is nothing special about the fabric - basic polka dot- or the bit of lace at the neckline, but together they look perfect.
