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.

Gorgeous Edwardian dress well worth restoring.

Overall good condition with the following exceptions, underarm netting discolored, one very small area of discoloration on lace, scattered holes and tears on front of dress near hem comprising an irregular area of about 9" X 5", another area of scattered holes approximately 5" X 4.5" on right hip midsection, one irregular area of discoloration on front middle section approximately 3" X 1" at widest/longest, skirt lining likely removed.
From Me:
I hope everyone is having a wonderful Merry Christmas. This dress is from about 1913/1914 based on the shape. The skirt shouldn't be puffed out quite that much but it is a good example of the era.
