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.

Teen's Era Net Dress
From the seller:
This is a most gorgeous antique dress! It is made of sheer, white net fabric that even has a bit of give to it!
It is done in layers of the fabric, with a sturdy thick cotton waistband inside.
It has numerous snaps and hooks to hold it in place.
There is an embroidered overlay in front.
I tried to show it on the mannequin, but it doesn't fit her pointy 50's bosom!
This is in wearable condition. One hole in back at hip, not to bad. Maybe one light spot somewhere. But, clean!
All the snaps and hooks are in place.
So lovely!
Really, this is in quite good condition for such an old dress.
No underarm issues!
ANTIQUE, sold "as is"
it measures:
Bust - 34"
Waist - 25.5"
Hips - 42"
Sleeves - 23"
From shoulder to top of waistband - 14"
Shoulder seam to seam - 15"
Length - 47"
From Me:
Probably about 1914 based on the cut and style.
