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.

1890's White Day Dress with Embroidery

From the seller:

A fetching 1890’s white cotton embroidered suit. The front and back of the jacket and the sleeve cuffs are embroidered with white flowers and vines. The hemline on the skirt is also embroidered in the same manner. The jacket has leg of mutton styled sleeves and a front button closure. The jacket and skirt are unlined. The suit is in crisp and clean condition. There are no holes and no age marks. Bust 32 Wait 23 Skirt length 34.

From Me:

This looks so plain until you see that embroidery. Wow! Probably about 1894.
