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.

Wouldn't like this Club Monaco gown longer. The most colour and ruffled sleeve, the, and also the pleasure cloth! Lively and joyous. Whether she's gathered it to ben't this type of profound cervical neck, even 18, I ponder?
