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.

I was going to go 1930's this year for Christmas but I could totally do 1920's again if I made this dress.
Remember, no drool on the dresses, ladies and gentlemen! (I added the BIG version of the pictures. Just click on any of the images but not on the pinterest symbol to see some of the amazing details)

Lovely dress! Drool, drool (from a distance). ;-)
ReplyDeleteI honestly think the back and side draping is more lovely - but that might be because if how it's sagging in the front.
