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.

1880's Morning Robe
From the seller:
1870's / 80's vintage white cotton jacquard combing coat/gown. Lovely stripe with alternating pebble texture and marvelous lily of the valley vine pattern. Fitted with princess seaming through bodice. Bustle back and train. Trimmed with lavishly hand embroidered ruffled whitework eyelet (broderie anglaise). Eyelet is applied with bias self binding. Two patch pockets at hip. Applied angled cuffs. Buttons front closure with self covered buttons (7) and button tabs. “L. M. F. THOMPSON” written in front left facing. All original late 1800’s vintage, NOT a reproduction. EXQUISITE by any measure, but especially in this fine condition!
Approximate Measurements:
Bust measured underarm to underarm across the back - 34-36”
Sleeve measured from seam to cuff edge - 20”
Shoulder measured from seam to seam - 16”
Length measured from neck seam to hem edge - 60”
Condition:
Spectacular! Truly fine condition. Slight general soil and three tiny spots. Comes from smoke free environment.
From me:
The high neck and shape of the sleeves means it's probably 1880's.
