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.

From Me:
Alright, this is an excellent piece to show how to tell is something is a wedding dress when there isn't a note with it. Does it have a train? Yes! Does it have orange blossoms? Yes! Is it in a time period and region where white would have been common and therefore white? Yes Then it's probably a wedding gown.

I got a big kick out of that train. It reminds me of a bird's tail. :-)
ReplyDelete:-) I thought it was sort of a statement piece. "See? I really am a wedding gown!"
