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.

Titanic Era Summer Dress
From the seller:
JUST STUNNING!!!!
LOVELY WHITE EDWARDIAN DRESS & SLIP ALL HAND MADE. THE DRESS IS A BEAUTIFUL WHITE GAUZE MATERIAL WITH BEAUTIFUL HAND WORK EMBROIDERY TRIM THROUGH OUT.THE DRESS MEASURES 26 IN AT WAIST LENGTH 37 WAIST TO HEM THE SLEEVE IS 11 IN AND 34 AT BUST UNDER ARM. IT IS VERY SMALL TOO SMALL TO CLOSE IN BACK ON MY MANIKIN . DRESS IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION FOR I9TS AGE LAUNDERED AND FRESH. THE ONLY DAMAGE IS A TINY DIME SIZE REPAIR IN FRONT SKIRT SEE PICTURES.
THE SLIP IS A COTTON MATERIAL . IT HAS A DOUBLE BOTTOM SKIRT WITH LOTS OF TINY PLEATS AND BEAUTIFUL HAND MADE LACE . IT ALSO HAS BEEN LAUNDERED AND IS FRESH AND READY TO ENJOY. NO DAMAGE OR STAINS. BOTH ITEMS ARE A LOVELY SHADE OF ANTIQUE WHITE. THEY WERE PURCHASED AT SAME SALE .I CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT THEY WERE MADE TO BE WORN TOGETHER BUT THEY COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER AND ARE FROM SAME TIME PERIOD.
From Me:
I agree with the seller that the petticoat goes well with the dress and might have been original to it.
