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.

Bustle Era Quilted Petticoat
From the seller:
A beautiful 1890’s ivory satin wedding petticoat that has been de-accessioned from a museum collection. The bottom hemline is padded and quilted. The edge of the hemline has a pleated satin ruffle. The petticoat has a trained back. It is in very good and sturdy condition. There are no splits or holes in the fabric. There are a few small minor age spots. Waist 24 Front length 42 Back length 47.
From Me:
This looks like it's about 10 years older than the seller believes - notice how it really looks like it could use a bustle pad? I'm putting it in the 1880's.
