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.

1830's Corded Petticoat
From the seller:
An early 1830’s cotton corded petticoat that has recently been de-accessioned from the Rochester historical Society Museum collection. The petticoat is all hand stitched. The hemline is numerous rows of padded cording. The petticoat has a bone back button closure. It is in very good and sturdy condition. There are no holes. Waist 30 Length 34.
From Me:
There is a far more extensively corded one at the Kyoto Museum but this is very much 1830's.
