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.

Cute and Unique 1920's Overdress
From the seller:
This auction is for a great vintage, if not antique ladies dress ~ perfect for lovers vintage clothing! This piece and others we now have listed were recently purchased at a rural Kansas estate auction. This piece:
exquisite silk fabric topped with extensive beading
seed beads and bugle beads in black on a gray white ground ~ may have been blue at some point but overall fading to gray
features large ovals that have a silk belt running through them at the waist
the hemline has long splits up to nearly the waist
just a few tiny holes or snags noted and just a few loose or missing beads
no tag
side snaps under the arm on one side
measurements are approximate ~ when laying flat it measure approximately 21 inches from underarm to underarm and 40 inches from the shoulder seam to the hemline
straight from the auction ~ I have not laundered
From Me:
This is so 1920's that even the 1920's can't stand it. :-)
