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.

Bustle Era Bonnet
From the seller:
This lovely bonnet dates from the 1880s. It is made of a woven base structure that is covered with fine metallic gold net lace accented with burgundy red velvet. It has two burgundy silk ribbons ties. The front is decorated with sweet blue forget-me-not blossoms. In very good vintage condition: there is a bit of wear to the velvet. This hat is a very small size as is typical with authentic Victorian hats.
Measurements:
Height: 7"
Inside height: 5"
Width: 8"
Inside width: 6"
Depth: 5"
From Me:
Based on the brim and the flower placement, I think this is 1870's. Either way, it's a bustle era bonnet.
