This style was everywhere from about 1945 to about 1965, I think. In house dress to day dress styles, the shirtwaist with full skirt was a classic fashion. I remember my mother wearing them.
Some had fabric-covered buckle belts and some, like this one, had tie belts. All kinds of prints or solids were seen.
I love this one, which is a semi-sheer material in a print with a French motif. Not a bit high-end; just the average do-what-the-day-requires outfit for a modern 1950’s housewife.

Love the Florida colors of this breezy blouse (and guess where I am now!). I found this here several years ago. It had been sold originally at some relatively small shop with its own label.
The blouse is sheer, with fabric-covered buttons. You can almost guess where it’s from just by looking at it. It’s just right, with a pair of white slacks, for a walk along the boardwalk or some leisurely shopping.
I go for walks along the boulevards, looking at the bungalows and the villas, wondering whose closet this came from. You just never know . . . . . . . . .
