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.

Mid 1860's Green Dress
From the seller:
Authentic Victorian Dress size S. Not in perfect condition but this is the real deal. Interesting period piece.
From Me:
Based on the back pleating and what we can see of the bodice, I'm putting this about 1865. It could have been worn at the tail end of the American Civil War, based on the bodice style (particularly that trim placement). I love the bright green color.
