What is your oldest piece of clothing?

Don't know if a baby's bib counts but I have the one my father sent home for me during WW2. It's beautifully embroidered with the name "Tunis" and palm trees, and lives in a little similarly decorated case.

Wearing a bra I bought in Texas in 2001. It is the only really comfortable bra I have ever had.

Bags I'd say that top is vintage rather than just old. Therefore very trendy

Gagagran - NO!!! (Unless you wear it these days? )

I have stuff going back 15+ years, including a beautiful fair isle cardigan I bought in Scotland before my mother died, so 17 years old. Some of the things are very tired and must have been pretty baggy in those days however!

Does my 48-year old wedding dress count?

I have a tee-shirt from San Francisco that my daughter bought be in 1988.
25 years old! I don't wear it anymore and it has a small hole in it, but part with it? No way!

Some thin driving gloves.
I got them in London about 30 years ago and they have gone tatty.
They kept my hands warm and I could pull my season ticket out of my pocket with them on.
I do not use the train or the bus so much now but I would buy another pair if I could find some somewhere.

Ella There are items in my wardrobe that go back umpteen years. I may never wear them again, but that doesn't mean that I do not continue to enjoy them.

I have several items over 25 years old, including a beautiful coat, an evening jacket and a handmade satin and lace camisole which cost £95 then!
It's getting tighter though

Um not sure why I posted the message twice. Must be trigger happy.

I gave a navy blue, cotton tank top, purchased from Wallis in Northampton with money I earned as a Saturday girl in Littlewoods in 1956 to my granddaughter. Apart from slight fraying at the hem, it is still almost as "good as new"

Certainly not

I have several things that are over twenty years old, and they are not just house wear either.

DD1 has a top that my mum gave to me when she'd had it for fifteen years. I had it for about twenty on top of that. It looks lovely on DD.
