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.

1910's Evening Dress
From the seller:
Rare delicate beauty in near perfect condition. Edwardian period layered silk illusion netting gown with silver lame liner and gold shot thread and sequins. Layers of the silk netting with tassels on bodice and bottom of skirt. In excellent wearable condition with just a few small pulls to the netting. Chest measures 38" waist 28", length 52".
From Me:
There is no such thing as wearable condition when it comes to antique garments like this. End of story.
It's also not Edwardian - it's post Edwardian. Probably 1914 ish.
