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 Summer Lace Dress
From the seller:
This lovely Edwardian tea dress is made from white cotton and is heavily trimmed with embroidery and insert lace. It buttons down the back and has elbow length dolman sleeves. The skirt is in gores with insert lace in the seams of the gores and there are pin tucks from the waist in the cotton panels. There's bands of various lace aroud the skirt with narrow lace ruffles. 34 inches around the bust, waist is 22, hips are 42 and it's 49 inches long. Excellent vintage condition.
From Me:
I can see late Edwardian - 1910- but I think this is more likely 1911. Either way, a very lovely dress.

That is just adorable. I would wear that (but my list of want-to-make is light years long as it is).
