A Question About Vendor Sizes

Thank you in advance.

Do any of you know when vendors / designers stared including XS in their sizing?

I have a Vanity Fair Leopard print (yum) nightie & the label matches a 1950's ones here, but the XS size tag is throwing me.

Here's my tag.

I'll check back soon.

Right now I'm describing, editing, & cropping like a madwoman!
 
Leisa, I don't know the specific answer to your question about sizing. But, that blue embroidered VF label was used into the 60s. Although tricot was used in the 50s, it seems to me that of all the tricot-labeled lingerie I've had (and have now), most of them are from the 60s. It might help to see the entire piece. HTH!
 
Correction: I do have at least one VF nightgown (my own favorite!) from the 50s that is labeled as tricot. But it's labeled with the bust size, not the letter size. Most of my VF nightgowns & slips are labeled with bust sizing, as I recall.
 
Ang is right that it's 60s. I have a few pieces of the VF animal-print line, and they're 60s. And they are GREAT pieces! Older VF lingerie is some of the best. I would say your gown is likely mid 60s, no later, though, I don't think.
