I am launching an online vintage ladies clothing and homewares shop very soon and I need some info to help date some items. I have some classic 60's items but they have modern sizing on them. I thought that this did not start till 70's so would welcome any information about this. Thank you!
 
Good morning, thank you for sharing this Ruth. I was questioning myself as well. I thought it started in the 70s but had some pieces that I know had to be earlier
