"Suisse" brand 1950s (?) p.j.'s

[laurenm]

Hi there,
I'm fairly certain these are from the 1950s, but want to check. The label is 'Suisse' which I think may still be in business, but have lost my internet steps to where I had seen that. They are marked a size '6' but appear to be more of a modern 10 which goes against what I know about the changes in sizing, so am wondering?
Sorry the photos aren't the greatest as I haven't ironed them.
Thanks,
Lauren

Hi Lauren, could you add a photo of the whole garment please? as at the moment I don't know what I'm looking at, I'm assuming they are the pyjama trousers. One of the label in clearer focus would be good too.

All I can say at the moment is that the size and brand label are of a similar sort to those I've found in 50's & 60's aprons. A 6 sounds more like a 'dress' size, or perhaps american? (I forget which way the size conversion goes for UK to US sizes)

Lauren

A thought coming from left field ... "Suisse" is French for Switzerland. Possibly it could be a country label - ' like "USA." ?

Late to the party - been on a business trip. It might well be just what Amanda suggested - though with the size marking it would mean this was made for export, as we use the same sizing system here as Germany, so we don't have a size 6 here.
