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.

Public Warning Announcement
This is not an antique Edwardian lingerie gown. Whoever started that on pintrest needs to be taught a lesson. It didn't look right to me for a lot of reasons, so I did a reverse image google search. Please, if something ever doesn't look right to you, try the image search. It's amazing what you'll find.
And yes, it's very much not a piece of Edwardian lingerie. Instead, it's a 1970's Gunne Sax gown. Now, I love the vintage Gunne Sax stuff - if I could, I'd wear that all the time. However, Gunne Sax is not Edwardian. Ever. So, please, be careful what you pin and what you write. Thank you.

I've seen it twice now and have commented that it's not Edwardian and to check the etsy link with it.

Yay! Thanks! It's the new "No, that's the Just Breathe gown from Ever After, not a Regency dress" dress.
