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.

Bustle Era Copper Dress
From the seller:
This is a brown silk bodice and skirt from the 1870's/1880's. The bodice is trimed with a lace collar and jet black buttons. This does have damage in the skirt and underarms, see photos. The waist of the skirt will need to be restored as its coming undone, also needs hook. Being sold as is no refunds.
33" bust
27" waist of bodice
20" shoulder seam to cuff
23" waist of skirt
38.5" length of skirt
From Me:
Probably the 1870's - right before Natural Form.
