help dating Barbizon full slip lingerie Rhapsody "Silk Boshe"

[LustNLuxVintage]

Does anyone know info about the date of this piece? I'm thinking the style is Rhapsody and the fabric silk boshe (correct me if I'm wrong) I can't find any other tags with silk boshe as the fabric. Thanks!

No idea on the fabric, but I would date the slip to the 50s.

Agree with Karin, I would date to the 1950s. My guess... since the label states "woven fabric" rather than "pure silk" as they do on some of their labels, that it's a blend. Let's see what others have to say.

Good to know the woven vs pure info, thanks! This ad was in a listing I saw -->>circa 1954.

It may say silk doshe and not boshe.

I found a 1950 ad that announced the sale of a "Barbizon Matched Set in Pure Silk Satin Dosche" and among those sets was a "Rhopsody" ( sic) bed jacket. I also found a 1952 ad for "Barbizon's Pure Silk Satin Dosche Slips" and that included one in Rhapsody White. Although your label does appear to say Boshe, I checked many databases and never saw "boshe" anywhere.

I think the grey thread may have a pull in it on the letter D, causing it to look like a B. I'm sure Lynne is right in her results.

I had the same thought as Melanie, but what is puzzling is that the label does not have the 'c' in Dosche, as the ads do.
