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.

Late 1930's Velvet Dress

From the seller:

Fantastic vintage dress made of luxurious might night blue velvet! This dress has an amazing neckline! Tons of little details make this dress so stylish! Zips up the side, full flowy skirt, tailoring! Rhinestone buttons up the front and a rhinestone belt (the clasp is broken, you must pin it to wear it, see pics). Great vintage condition!

Bust: up to 36"
Waist: 26"
Hip: full
Length: about 47"

From Me:

I think I've found the pattern for my Christmas dress this year... about 1939 based on the sleeves and the amount of fabric in that skirt.
