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 agree, totally wearable style today.
ReplyDeleteExactly. I'm thinking maybe not doing the underskirt and wearing leggings with it. This in a nice rose or teal would be fabulous.
