No that's not a date. Looks to be a dry cleaners mark.
Re: fit. It really needs that belt doesn't it? I would definitely insert some pleats in the rear to get some decent waist suppression. It's a bit saggy 'round the middle (ripples on the front shot at the waist level), is this because the belt and probable pleats in the back are gone? Hold on, though. Is that one little seam thread the sole evidence upon which to base the thought that there was once a belt? There should be other signs, no? Hold it up to the light (I assume it's part lined) and see if you can see the stitch holes running horizontally across the rear waist area.
What a lovely suit, though. very nice fabric indeed.
