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 White Summer Dress
From the seller:
An ornate 1890-1900 white batiste cotton and lace dress. The bodice and skirt are lavishly trimmed with inserts of Val lace. The bodice and skirt are unlined. The bodice has a back button closure. The dress is in good condition. There are scattered small pea size holes and a couple of nickel size holes in the cotton fabric and in the lace inserts. The reserve reflects the flaws. Still makes a pretty display dress. Bust 34 Waist 23 Skirt length 40.
From Me:
1904 based on the neckline (likely worn with a dickey) and the sleeve style.
