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.

Early Edwardian Mauve Outfit

From the seller:

This bodice measures about 30" around the bust. The silk areas are shredded and there are a few holes in the fabric. The skirt measures 24" around the waist and closes with hooks. The skirt has many holes in the fabric. The underskirt is in good shape but has some shredding on the silk edge. The skirt is 44" long.

From Me:

I think that the fabric is wool based upon the look of it. Probably about 1903.
