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.

1920's Embroidered Dress
From the seller:
A sweet antique tambour net lace dress in an ecru color.
Measurements:
Shoulder to bottom edge 40 inches
Under armpits across chest 19 inches
Waist about 36 inches
Has age spotting and holes in places. At the waist it was shortened, but you can take it out.
Circa 1900-20s era
Sold as found.
Just found from an estate.
From Me:
Based on the lace insertion and the embroidery style, this was earlier 1920's. It could also have been made from an older dress. Sorry for the delay - I just got back from Pennsic!!!!!!!
