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.

Turn of the Century Young Miss Summer Dress
From the seller:
You are bidding on a beautiful Edwardian cotton lingerie dress.
This dress has lace details at the hem, cuffs, and bodice and still has its original silk ribbons.
20" waist; 32" bust; 52" total length.
Very good condition with: one repair under one arm; a missing button on the back at the waist; minor yellowing, etc.
Please look carefully at the photos.
From Me:
Although that V ruffle bodice thing (technical term!) was more poplar in the 1890's, it still existed in the early 1900's. The sleeves are more Edwardian so I'm going to agree with the seller.
