Lovely! I've had a dreamy 1970s petticoat and camisole set by Poirette a while ago - also a very happy find!

The union label is the one from 1963-1974 - see https://vintagefashionguild.org/label-resource/union-label/

Here are two vintage Poirette ads - this one from 1961 shows a very similar girdle to yours: https://hprints.com/en/item/83436/Poirette-Lingerie-1957-Promise-Girdle
Though the logo font on your girdle's label is more like in this 1957 Promise by Poirette ad: https://hprints.com/en/item/83436/Poirette-Lingerie-1957-Promise-Girdle

Still, I would probably go by the union label for dating...
 
This does actually have what I am guessing are taffeta satin sides... they do not have any give to them at all.. only the meshy area. I was looking at the second one and saw it actually has a stamping on the interior with a 64 on it which I think is probably the year. This was quite a collection and seems to mostly all date to sometime in the 60's other than a few Van Raalte tap pants which I think are late 50's. This is probably the most fun collection I have ever gotten. Every girdle was under 5 bucks and the tap pants and pettipants all under 4... I just sent my husband back today to get anything we might have overlooked. Thank you all!!!
