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.

Natural Form Child's Dress
From the seller:
A very striking blue and gold striped tafetta child's (could have been worn by a boy or girl) 19th century Victorian dress needing TLC and restoration. Hand sewn lining is intact. I am guessing that it would have fit an 8-10 year old. Full refund if not as described.
From Me:
Given that the seller believes it could have been worn by an older child and, to me, it also looks like an older child's dress, I'm going to say this is for a girl.
