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.

From Me:
/facepalm
This dress is absolutely stunning but by no means should it be worn. The poor dear is a 90+ year old lady! She needs a nice retirement home where she can tell her history - not be jerked around to every speakeasy still in existence! Seriously, seller. Of course, that should be obvious given how shredded the pink silk is.
I love that the sides are actually "flaps" and how simple the construction is of this piece. I do give the seller a bunch of points for all the photos!
