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.

1860's Large Scale Plaid Dress
From the seller:
A classic 1860’s Civil War era brown and gray plaid silk dress that is being offered for study or pattern. The sleeves are trimmed with pleated brown satin. The bodice is lined with cotton and has a front button closure. The dress has an attached center back peplum belt that has a large bow and long streamers. The skirt has a back train and is fully lined with cotton. The dress has age related flaws including several age marks from ½ inch to 2 inch on the bodice, skirt and peplum belt. There is dark underarm discoloration and splits under each arm. The reserve reflects the age flaws. Bust 34 Waist 24 Skirt front length 38 Back length 47 Width at hemline 142.
From Me:
Probably just at 1865.
