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.

18th century Child's Cap
From the seller:
this original antique french silk brocade cap from the 18th century is in good condition and still has its original gilt lace edging.
The soft pink roses and green foliage are in a perfect harmony with the light golden brown ground. Lined inside with hand woven linnen
toile it is completely handstitched.
It is a small size, without breaks or major damage just some of the green silk thread has vanished by age on one side.
From Me:
My guess is 1760's but it's hard to tell. These are quite common and were worn by children. Take a look at this one at vintage textile or this pink one.
