All The Pretty Dresses

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.

1850's Summer Jacket

From the seller:

A beautiful 1860’s lace jacket that has full pagoda styled sleeves. The lace has an overall small floral pattern and large floral pattern on the edge of the hemline. The jacket has full pagoda styled sleeves and a wide peplum hemline. It is in very good and sturdy condition. There is a period mend on one side near the waist. (See photo). The repair is very well done and blends in with the color of the lace. Bust 32 Waist 28.

From Me:

1854

The v-opening, the basque waist, and those sleeves, all indicate an earlier date.
