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.

Early 1920's Embroidered Blouse
From the seller:
•••••I N C R E D I B L E••••• !!!
• Circa 1920's
• Sheer thin white cotton
• Hand embroidered with birds and deco patterns
• Reminiscent of Hungarian embroidery of the time
• Baby blue button details on the shoulders
• Ruched at the hips with more baby blue button details
• Detail belt on the backside
• Blue silk details on the neckline and armholes
Shown on a size 2 mannequin. Will fit best, with that drapey 1920's chic look, on an XS to about a size 4.
Condition: Soooo good for it's age and delicacy!!! Just a few very light spots that I can find, a teeny hole on the neckline, and two missing buttons on the left shoulder. Otherwise excellent!!
Bust: 38"
Low Waist (just above hips): 36"
Hips: 38"
Length 35"
From Me:
Probably mid to late 1920's based on the length and the style.
