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:
It's interesting that there is so much going on on the front and nothing happening on the back. I'm calling this color "nude" since it's the same color as a band-aid which is also called nude despite the fact we all know that no one happens to have that color skin. :-)
