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.

This fabric seems so unusual for the time! I feel like I'm looking at a dress made out of vintage saris. Doesn't this brocade have an Indian feel to it?
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't be surprised if it was from India - the trade routes were still quite open until the late 1850's/early 1860's.
