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.

Late 1920's Dress
From the seller:
With a fluttering asymmetrical cape, vintage from the late 1920s or very early '30s, this ethereal buff crepe flapper dress has all the charm and grace of that bygone Deco era ...and the cherry on top is that it's in excellent, well-cared-for and well-stored, and very wearable condition!

CONDITION AND DETAILS
The dress is in excellent well-cared-for and very wearable condition with just a few small and probably insignificant things to mention. First, the good news is that the underarms are still strong and solid and healthy - and that's the usual trouble spot. There's a short seam at the shoulder that looks like it's shaping the shoulder but is actually a mend; there's a tiny hole on the skirt that might be better left unmended because it won't show with a slip underneath, and to me the lace looks newer than the dress and seems to have been replaced..
From Me:
This is a good example of way too much going on. I think the dress would look a lot better without the odd lace stuff at the bottom. Also, I can see the age spots on this dress - one hour of wearing it and you'd be naked.
