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 Brassiere
From the seller:
AN AMAZING VINTAGE BRA WHICH APPEARS TO BE FROM THE VICTORIAN, EDWARDIAN OR 20'S ERA! MADE OF AN IVORY COLOR MESH NETTING. HAS SNAPS IN FRONT, CUTS HAVE CRISS-CROSS BONING. AN IVORY SILK BOW IN CENTER. NO TAGS, NO LABELS. APPEARS HAND-MADE. DELICATE AND NOT RECOMMENDED FOR WEAR.
GOOD CONDITION, HAS SOME STAINING MOSTLY ON SIDES. (SEE LAST 2 PICS). SOLD "AS IS", NO RETURNS, NO REFUNDS.
From Me:
Based on the boning pattern and the materials used, this looks mid to late Edwardian (about 1906/1907) to my eyes.
