Know anything about Czarina?

Hello all,
Does anyone know anything about the brand Czarina or could point me in the right direction of a good resource?
I have searched the web but all I can find is irrelevant subjects or people selling Czarina with no further information. I have a lovely vintage half slip in my hand would love to know more about it.
 
if you post pics of your garment, it will help - there are thousands of fashion labels and many are not documented on the internet, but your slip will have other clues.
 
Fair enough. Here goes...

Joules is right - more information is helpful. In the mean time I suspect it's a late '50s to mid '60s nylon slip and I think the seam should go on the side - try twisting it around and see how it looks.
 
Is the fabric woven or a knit? That would help a great deal in dating, but I cannot tell from the picture. As Julie says, it looks light it might be a nylong taffeta, but a close-up of the fabric would be most helpful. And is the top panel (I agree it should go with the seam on the side) the same as the bottom part (e.g., if the bottom is a woven fabric, is the top a stretchy knit or is it the same)?

Any labels at all on it?
 
Hello All, thank you for all of you helpful responses.
I have taken some more images including a side shot. The half slip is nylon but it does not specify further. There is no zip, the waist is neatly elasticated. The top section is knit and the skirt section is woven. I don't have a shot of the label yet but the Czarina logo with a tiny crown above the 'I' has a blue flower shape around it and the label is navy print on off-white ribbon, there are wadsh care instruction on the back. It is made in the U.K. The seams are stitched and overlocked. The hem is edged in a lace trim.
I had figured the first image I posted was the front of the garment because both side also have seams which go all the way to the top whereas the front and back seams only go as far as the waist section.
