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.

Super Cute 1920's Party Dress
From the seller:
Vintage 1920s Moire Silk Flapper Dress Beaded Black Ruched Drop Waist XS S
Antique 1920s black moire silk flapper dress.
Black watered silk drop waist dress with coral color bead accents. The beads outline the V-shaped neckline, the split of the center front overskirt and along the hemline. There is a sheer net inset at the neck, with additional net outlining the neckline and along the hemline. The shaped drop waist of the dress is ruched along the seam and accented with a bow and long ties. Ruching is also used at the center front natural waist and at the waist sides. Side snap and hook/eye closures. The back is weighted at the waist.
Label: Unlabeled
Condition: Very good. I have not cleaned this due to the beadwork. It is very wearable as is. There is minor bead loss, mostly at the top shoulder seam as pictured. A couple of small holes on the overskirt which are hidden by the fabric of the underskirt. Some small holes in the net at the neck. The fabric is strong for the age.
Size: Unlabeled, but fits extra small to small. Please refer to the measurements below. These are of the outfit, not the wearer. There is no stretch to the fabric. Should fit loosely.
•Bust: 34 inches
•Waist: 28 inches
•Hips: 36 inches
•Length: 39.5 inches
From Me:
The last two pictures are of the neckline and the inside back.
