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.

Edwardian Lace Bodice
From the seller:
Very finest quality Victorian couture handmade lace bodice dress top.
Straight out of a trunk from a big house where it has been in storage for more than 60 years. Beautiful condition. Sold as-is.
From Me:
I love those sleeves! The high neckline but shorter waist- as well as the 3/4 length sleeves and the slight puffy (pigeon) front all point to about 1907 ish. You are starting to get out of the early Edwardian styles but go into the "Titanic" Era, neo-directorate styles.
