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.

Edwardian Dressing (?) Jacket
From the seller:
A glorious 1890’s yellow and white stripe silk bodice that has been de-accessioned from a museum collection. The cataloging tag is pinned inside the neckline. The white stripe is decorated with pink roses. The bodice has full leg of mutton styled sleeves. The sleeves have a wide lace flounce. The neck and front opening are decorated with cascading lace trim. The bodice is also trimmed with black velvet ribbon bows. The inside is lined with cotton. The bodice has a front hook and eye closure. The bodice is in very good display condition. There is 1 dime size age spot and a few tiny splits in the fabric but nothing major. Bust 36 Waist 28.
From Me:
I love the fabric but I'm not fond of the cut of this jacket. The 3/4 balloon sleeves put it smack daub in the Edwardian era.
