Vintage slip by Starr

[Theda_Bara]

Hi! Does anyone know about the "Starr" label? I have a vintage Starr slip, and I'm trying to date it. Thanks!

Pretty slip! are the adjusters metal or plastic?

The adjusters are metal, and the embroidered tag makes me think it's 40's or 50's? I've never heard of Starr before. Here's a full pic

I'm thinking 50's....

The length makes me think early to mid '60s: is it made of nylon or a jersey? Are there any other labels?

The tag reminds me of a Vanity Fair 50s tag..... sure it's not 40s. If nothing else, go with Nicole on the 60s!! Nicole has an amazing eye ;)

The back side of the tag is embroidered "100% nylon." I guess if it was 40's it would be rayon? I'm thinking it's 50's then, since many of the 60's slips I've seen have a stamped label, not an embroidered label?

There were embroidered lingerie labels into the 60s. Without being able to see the seaming detail on the bodice, which is very often a clue with slips, but I can't see the detail in the black, I'm thinking late 50s into as late as the mid 60s (since not everyone wore mini dresses then!). Not 40s or even mid 50s. If you were to go with late 50s/early 60s you'd be safe, I think! Lovely slip--vintage lingerie is absolutely the best!
