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.

Mid to Late 1860's Black Lace Peplum

From the seller:

This is a listing for a very old silk and lace apron from the 1800's
It measures 26" waist and it is 33" long
Overall it's in good condition with only a small area of tear on the lace at the bottom- see photo

From Me:

This peplum/basque/belt/ whatever you want to call it, it wasn't an apron was worn in the mid to late 1860's. You can see the shoulder straps and the length of the basque is supposed to go towards the back.
