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.

Crazy Black Beaded 1920's Dress

From the seller:

The netting on this pretty dress had pulled apart so that the top and bottom are now separated. There are also a number of other places where the netting has ripped apart. Probably just useful for the beads unless someone knows how to attach the beads to new netting.

From Me:

It's actually very useful to show us 1920's construction. Interesting that the skirt and the bodice are two separate pieces.
