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.

1890's Ball gown bodice
From the seller:
This beautiful Victorian ball gown bodice is made from a cranberry velvet and ivory silk and tulle trimmed with lace. Inside is lined with taffeta and boned, it has a beautiful flower on one sleeve. The lining is shot, underarms damaged, silk splitting, velvet pretty good but has a few tears, under the arm and over the bust. The flowers and lace good. It measures 24 inches around the waist, bust is 35 inches. as is
From Me:
1892/1893 based on the sleeve style (why did someone sew plastic flowers there?!?) and length of the bodice.
