This is a place for any extant garments in private collections from about 1929 back. There is no beginning date. The only rule is that it can't be currently in a museum and must be before a time my Great Aunts can remember. :-) 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.

Purple Ottoman Robe with Gold Embroidery
From the seller:
We are happy to present you this beautiful antique hand-embroidered velvet robe with metallic threads. It's in overall good condition (with several stains on the inside, as seen in the photos). The circumference at the underarm section is 55''; the circumference at the bottom hem is 94.5''; the sleeve length is 19.7''; the sleeve's circumference is 16.5''; and the total height is 55''
From Me:
This is from the same seller who sold the cut up caftan I posted a couple of days ago. I love the look of Ottoman/Turkish Embroidery but there is no way I'd buy from him.
