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.

1920's Beaded Dress
From Karen:
Here is another 1920s dress from my collection. As you can see it is in very poor shape but at one time was a very beautiful dress. This is the condition I received it in. The sequins and beads are intact front and back. There are no signs of side closure so I suspect this slipped on over the head, over a slip. This dress would have been spectacular, back in the day. Nearly impossible to take measurements of this one as the shoulder, neck and arm openings have completely disintegrated. This dress is very heavy for its size.
From Me:
...Am I the only one that really wants Harley Quinn to wear something like this when she's introduced on Gotham?
