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.

1920's Pink and Blue Dress
From the seller:
A gorgeous antique drop-waist dress from the 1920's. It is made of pink and sky blue silk chiffon. The dress is sleeveless and has a v neck-line in the front. It is very floaty and is adorned with beadwork made into roses. The neckline in the back of the dress is also decorated. It is a really beautiful dress. It would best fit a small size but does fit loosely. The dress is in excellent antique condition. Width - 14 inches Underarm to underarm - 17 1/2 inches Length - 39 1/2 inches
From Me:
My inner five year old *loves* this...I don't. It's a bit odd for the 1920's - like it was trying for Boué Soeurs and failed.
