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.

Early Edwardian Brown Bodice with a secret pocket!
From the seller: Antique victorian blouse in good condition. High collar and full sleeves. Waist about 24".
If the pocket is a watch pocket, wouldn't it be very inconvenient? It looks like it's sewn into the lining at bust level, so I'm assumimg you have to undo the hooks in order to use it?
that "secret pocket" is a watch pocket.
