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.

Edwardian Bodice
From the seller:
A gorgeous civil war silk brown pretty lace very rare gorgeous dressy look only slight deterioration on trim by neck doesn't show when on display ! Real tiny bust 30" waist is 20" length is 18"
Great
Display piece
For a
Museum !
From Me:
On what planet is this for the Civil War? Seriously, sellers, a little research, please?
I think this is for a young miss, and towards the start of the 1900's. The sleeves are puffy but they don't go up as you would expect with the 1890's. Instead, they are meant to hang down, more like what we see in the early 20th century. The higher in the back waist line is also common for around 1903/1904 ish.
