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.

Turn of the Century Combinations
From the seller:
A gorgeous antique Victorian corset cover / pantaloons slip that's made on a lightweight white linen and beautifully detailed with wide scallop lace cuffs and a lace bodice. The waist has wide open eyelets to thread a ribbon thru to cinch the waist. I imagine that the bodice once had a drawstring around the neckline to hold it in place but there's none there now. There's tiny pearl button closures in the back.
VINTAGE ~ ~ Victorian
LABEL ~ ~~ ~
FABRIC ~ ~~ linen
MEASUREMENTS ~ ~~ 32" length, 37" bust, free waist now
CONDITION ~ ~ Excellent antique condition.
From Me:
I think the top would have had ribbon straps to hold it in place rather than a drawstring. This combinations is from the mid Edwardian era.
