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.

The bodice is also decorated with pleated ruffles along the front opening, sleeve cuffs and hemline. The sleeve cuffs are trimmed with a gold satin bow. The bodice is lined with cotton and has a front button closure. The buttons are covered with gold satin. The bodice is in very good condition. There are no splits or holes in the fabrics. There is some very light underarm discoloration on the inside lining only. Bust 32 Waist 24.
