I am also wondering if anyone knows more about this type of tag, and when this piece could be exactly from

Thanks!
 
Manufacturers often use their company name as a brand line, Darling Body Fashions Ltd. specialized in lingerie, and for two Toronto companies to produce lingerie with a 'Darling' brand line or Darling in their company name at the same time would be completely bizarre. I'm not sure what you mean about that 'type' of tag - The red triangle behind the 'D' looks like a very 80s Memphis-style graphics inspiration, otherwise it looks like a typical manufacturing tag from the period. If I had to guess I would have said late 1980s. There was a boom in girlie 'sexy' lingerie at the time (feathers and lace) and this could have been made for a fashion show or more likey a 'stag' or 'love' shop. If it were 90s I would expect it to be more likely black, and more constructed with snap give-aways or something more harder-edged striptease-like. This has that 80s type of lightweight bra construction before infra-apparel goes mainstream in the 90s courtesy of Madonna and Jean-Paul Gaultier's influence.
