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 Velvet Bodice
From the seller:
A regal 1870-1880’s black velvet and floral satin bodice. The fabric is exquisite and has tangerine, blue and yellow satin flowers surrounded by green satin leaves. The bodice has a center back peplum tails. It is lined with cotton and has a front button closure. The bodice is in good condition. There is no underarm discoloration. The sides of the bodice have period done enlargements and two of the button holes have split and will need repair. Bust 36 Waist 32.
From Me:
Late 1870's. Love the floral velvet!
