Dating on a few St Michael things? - lingerie and aprons

[retro ruth]

Hi everyone

Can anyone give me their opinion on dating these items? This is partly for me, but also coz I thought it might be useful to add St Michael to the label resource (I just found out it started in 1928, I never knew it went back so far), I have a few examples, but these ones I wasn't very sure of the dates on.

First a XL slip, no fabric content given, but feels like nylon, and made of two layers (lacy one over a plain sheer fine knit), overlocked seams. ribbon straps and two little roses on the hem. I thought 70s but don't really know.

Then two cotton half-aprons, with different labels so presumably could have different dates. I thought 50s or 60s, but if anyone has a more specific idea that'd be great.

Thanks in advance

I would say '60s to early '70s on the slip, early to mid '70s on the aprons.

those aprons are adorable, i was going to say early 70s on the slip and mid 60s to 70s on the aprons

I agree with those dates! I love the bright colors on the aprons!

i dont know why but i would have said poss 60's for the slip, as most of the st michael items i get in with that label are from the 60's

Thanks everyone! Trying to take the consensus, I think I'd better say late 60s/early 70s on the slip, and mid 60s/early 70s on the aprons.

I've added those dates and my little M&S history to the latest label thread if anyone wants to read it (end of page 2)
