    Hi all

    I wonder if anyone has any ideas about the potential age of this lovely two piece from Karen Model/Modeli (?)

    I’m leaning towards 60s, not really based on much other than the metal zip, composition and lack of washing symbols, but would love your thoughts.

    I’ve not seen this label before so any info would be much appreciated!

    Top fastens with buttons to back, skirt wi to a metal side zip.

    With thanks,

    Jane

    The colors and style do look like 1960's. What do you think is the fabric?

    It’s Tricel and rayon (last photo) although I’ve no idea what Tricel is!

    British made? Tricel is a trademark name for triacetate in the UK. In the United States triacetate was introduced under the trademarked name Arnel.

    I'm seeing early 60s as well. Love the print! And I think it's Karen Model - it's a stitch at the end of the label that makes it look like an extra i I think.

    Oops! You did show the fabric label and somehow I spaced over it. Thanks.
