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 Summer Dress
From the seller:
Beautiful antique fine linen and lace wedding dress from the 19th century. Perfect condition. All original buttons and hooks and eyes intact. Small, about size 2.
From Me:
Dearest Seller,
Old does not mean "19th Century".
White does not mean "wedding".
A size 2 is meaningless without understanding what country you are in. Waist, bust, hips, and length are needed.
Sincerely,
Me
PS: It's Edwardian. Late 1900's and maybe early 1910's.
