Here are a few examples from my daily closet – blouses/shirts from the 1950’s and early 1960’s. Names like Bobbie Brooks and Ship’n’Shore and Villager.

There are other names, too. I’m just thinking about the most common ones. I love wearing them with skirts and slacks, jeans.

On the far left, a peasant blouse – looked great back in the day with a peasant skirt and espadrilles.

The upper three in the center – made from that lovely vintage cotton I’m always writing about, in great prints or gingham weave.

And, the one on the bottom – in my favorite red. A sheer-ish cotton blend with tiny white polka dots.

Yes, you do sometimes have to iron shirts like these, but there’s nothing like them today and it’s worth it!
