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 Edwardian Era Dress
From the seller:
FROM THE HEIGHT OF THE EDWARDIAN ERA
THIS ALONG WITH THE OTHER EDWARDIAN DRESSES ACQUIRED FROM A PRIVATE ESTATE
FASHIONED OF A WONDERFUL COLORED LINEN WITH LACE INSERTS RUNNING THROUGHOUT
WONDERFUL CUTWORK DETAIL ABOVE THE FRONT BUST
FINELY EMBROIDERED BY HAND WITH FLORAL DETAILS
CUT WITH A FULLNESS AT EACH SIDE WITH SKIRTING OPENING INTO A FULL BELL SHAPE
CLOSES IN THE REAR WITH FRENCH KNOT BUTTONS
ESTATE FRESH AND I HAVE NOT CLEANED THIS PIECE, THERE IS SOME BROWN AGE COLOR AS SEEN WITH SOME STAINING SEEN UNDER THE ARM.
HARD ENOUGH TO FIND THESE IN WHITE, RARE TO FIND THESE IN EASTER EGG COLORS
MEASUREMENTS IN INCHES:
BUST: 36
WAIST: 26
LENGTH: 56
From Me:
Based on the neckline and sleeve length, I'm thinking 1909.
