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.

Late Victorian Era Stockings

From the seller:

A very pretty pair of embroidered Victorian cotton stockings. The embroidery has a floral pattern in shades of two tone blue and a touch of red. They are stamped on the toes with a number 9. The stockings are in very good condition. There are no holes and just a few small age spots. Length 24 Foot 9 inches.

From Me:

I think seller meant that the overall length is 24 inches and that the foot part is 9". ;-) Based on the embroidery style, I think these are from the 1880's/1890's but I'm really not sure.
