Hello! Today I found this awesome Spirella girdle at my local thrift shop. Can you help me identifying from which year it might be? It’s in awesome condition~
The company got closed in the 1980s as far as I know.

Hi Gotharian, and welcome to the forums.

Not sure if you've found this page on your travels but it has lots of useful information. Your logo font, however, is not included but I suspect it's towards the modern end of things due to the lack of adjustability in the garters: if you see the garters on the page, they all have a slider so they can be adjusted.

Similar styles to yours can be seen from the late '40s onwards: it seems to have been a popular style. If yours is from the '70s or more recent, there should be a fabric content label. Are there any other labels other than the one you've included? They can help a lot with dating re: content, care, country of origin.

I assume that '200' refers to the model, and it looks like the model numbers were used over a period of years. 205 is mentioned as still being made in the late '60s so the style at least, likely predates that. The rosettes seem to be a popular and long-standing embellishment.

More information would help but on the available information I think it's likely from the '60s or '70s.

Thank you sooo much for all the informations! This is really so exciting! sadly it doesn’t has any tag with informations about the material or how to take care of it. Only the brand tag. But it has some markings on the inside. Maybe the seamstress has made them?

Could this piece also be custom made?

Thank you again for all the information! It’s so interesting! <3
