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.

Lilac 1920's Beaded Dress
From the seller:
Selling a collection of 1920s/1930s clothes
Roaring 20s beaded dress for study and/or parts
Once ravishing this authentic 1920s flapper dress still has amazing beadwork. Made of chiffon in a pale lilac color it features a low waist marked by a beaded band with lateral bow and short sleeves. It features artistic beadwork of large, bold, stylized flowers and undulating wave like design on the bottom, done with bugle and seed beads and accented by large metallic gold beads. Identical design front and back. Lined in lilac rayon. It is very, very heavy.
Condition: many holes and discoloration - the upper back is completely torn
sold strictly for study/parts
From Me:
This dress makes me want to have a 1920's party.....
