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 Black Dress
From Karen:
I have attached photos of a 1920s knee-length black Rayon dress. There are no openings, it is a pullover. The collar has pleated, pinked trim all around. The sleeves have a small cuff which used to have snap openings. Only one snap remains. The dropped waist is beautifully ruched, ending in three layers of pleated, pinked trim applied to the skirt on the front only. The back has a small belt attached at the side seams. The measurements are 19 bust and waist, measured flat. This is a fun dress. There are no labels but it is beautifully made. It does have a few small holes in the fabric
From Me:
I have a similar one from a few years earlier. These are neat in person because we have such similar dresses today - almost 100 years later!

Sorry for the blurry photos; I thought I had checked those before I sent them...
