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.

Pretty Lace Petticoat Edwardian
From the seller:
Woman I bought this from said this and other 3 pieces I'm putting up were part of her great-grandmother's trousseaux. They came directly from attic trunk and are really spectacular. They need washing and ironing and would make an amazing splash as wedding outfit or other. I would of course send pieces in one package should you buy more than one. I haven't seen any this beautiful in a very long time. A wonderful collector's piece
You won't be disappointed with any of these; check out all 3 pieces. They are like whipped cream - lace and beautiful stitching everywhere - absolutely beautiful.
This slip is 37" long and has a dust ruffle under the outer lace hem that's 11" long and gathered.
The waist is 26" with a tie for multi-sizing. Sweep of outer skirt is 104"
Email if you have questions.
From Me:
Based on the way the petticoat is decorated and the length, I'm thinking Edwardian for this one.
