All The Pretty Dresses

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.

Teen's Era Swimsuit

From the seller:

Dimensions: [BACK] COLLAR TO HEM- 37" ARMPIT TO ARMPIT- 19 1/2" BUST- 42" WAIST- 30" SLEEVES- 4" Top half of an Edwardian swimming costume. Cute enough to wear as a dress! Navy blue wool blend fabric & faded red cotton trim. 2 red fabric buttons down the front & 3 hook & eye closures. Some moth damage but in great wearable shape. Beautiful sleeves & tiered ruffle skirt. Excellent vintage condition.

From Me:

Teens era. By this point, the sleeves start to go away. Next, it will be shorter and shorter "skirts".
