I'm not finding anything on this label. :no:

It does look like the photo in the ad, yes! I am not sure about the size issue, but if you are talking about selling the shirt, I would go with the measurements without stretching and perhaps with a comfortable amount of stretch. It may have been designed for limited or no ease. Since it is...

Is it a man's or woman's waistcoat? Could you please show us a photo of the item? That might help figure out the label.

Welcome Polly @Otraveis Brechó! Your English is not bad at all. :)

Hello Rida@shade112 Great to have you here! Please do share your finds—we love to ooo and ahh!

How unusual—at least to me! Where did you find it (the location sometimes helps)?

It looks very rich. To me it looks like a jacquard, perhaps a brocatelle, and I agree with Claire that there appears to be metallic in with something else.

I can't find much chatter about how sellers like it. We have several members on there that I could see, but I'm sure that isn't their only platform. There are some good shops for sure. They charge 10% on sold items with no listing fee. This comes to just a little more than Etsy, depending upon...

In my Etsy shop, there's a child-size Mexican souvenir jacket dating from the late 1940s (I found the original owner's age) Adult-sized Mexican dress: From my archives, some of the more far flung souvenir items— Tyrol Haiti Cuba

It looks like an under-bust waist cincher type of thing—but I know very little about corsetry. Even though I'm no help, I just wanted to say hello to you Tiffany! I'm so glad to see you here!

1940s Koret of California polished cotton skirt and late 40s to 50s blouse with braid-embellished peasant sleeves by Bonnie Best of Beverly Hills.

Interesting! I'm not surprised that he recreated the Calixte swirling dress with the hood—I would give anything to wear that in real life (about 80 sizes larger than the original)!

I would absolutely LOVE to go to Florence. It must have been so great to be there 3 months! When I visited the Maryhill Museum I was basically alone with these dolls, them in the light, me in the dark. It was haunting.

I've made it twice to the Maryhill Museum to visit the Théâtre de la Mode on permanent exhibition (with rotating elements of the exhibit), so I put some of my thoughts about it in writing: https://vintagefashionguild.org/blog/my-visit-to-the-thtre-de-la-mode/

Is there a label?

Hello Goga, would you please post photos? (here's a how-to: https://forums.vintagefashionguild.org/threads/faq-how-to-post-a-photo.52756/)

To me this photo screams 1920s, and what lovely photos they are.

Karin @Midge, remind me, how does it work with the UK Amazon? There are a number of books by VFG members in the Amazon shop, all in the VFG Authors section: https://www.amazon.com/shop/vintagefashionguild?listId=2S45PUORRJNKV

Hello, and welcome to the forum! This looks like the same era and labeling as this https://poshmark.com/listing/Vintage-christian-dior-sport-ski-pants-elastiss-5e1403bf6a7fba8b54dabd86 The jacket looks to be 1960s, and made of wool cavalry twill...

From a newspapers.com search it looks like there have been several Universal Clothing companies around the world, but I imagine the most likely is one that was in Sydney, at 841 George Street ("next to Marcus Clarks") in the 1950s and 60s. It looks like they may have ceased production about 1965.

Lianne, where do you live? Sometimes that gives a clue.
