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.

Baby Blue 1920's Dress
From the seller:
Beautiful vintage 1920s flapper dress, composed of a sheer blue silk chiffon. Lovely ruffled floral lace accents at collar, cuffs and waist. Drop waist with tiered, bias cut skirt. Blue silk covered buttons down chest. Snap button closures at cuffs.
Some spots or areas of slight wear. Some separation in seams. I have not laundered this dress-- it should clean up nicely. Please see photos for condition and details and message with any questions.
Approximate measurements:
Bust: 36"
Waist: 40"
Length: 48"
Sleeve length: 19"
From Me:
It is impossible to take this dress seriously with that muff ruffle there. That is all.

Seriously, what is with the placement of that ruffle?
ReplyDeleteWell, I guess it does draw the eye down...way down.
