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.

Cute Pink 1920's Dress with Lace Inserts
From the seller:
1920s Coral Silk Chiffon Dress with exquisite tan lace inserts. The sleeveless dress has drop waist and full gathered skirt. Dress has pull over the head styling.
Size: Small - It fit snug on my size 2-4 mannequin. Please go by garment measurements:
Bust measured underarm to underarm - 34"
Drop Waist (10.5" down from underarm) - 33"
Hips - full
Length shoulder seam to bottom hem - 41"
Condition: Overall very good antique condition - noted some light soil. There is a pull under one arm and underarm staining on both - see last image
From Me:
Notice the snaps under the arm - not all 1920's dresses were meant to simply go over the head.
