1940s Blouse

[ITG]

I won this recently on ebay. What type of bottoms would you gals recommend to complete this outfit? A bit roomy but that's okay.

Nice.

I think your new avitar is wonderful. You look vintage now, eh, um, less "Texas".....oops! My sis-in-law's clan is from there! Shhhhhhh! Really, you look great.

Thanks Andy!

I'd suggest pairing it with either high-waisted skirts or 40s-style slacks.

I have several blouses similar to your new purchase; I usually wear them with a black crepe 1940s trumpet skirt, a gabardine a-line skirt, or a form-fitting pencil skirt. I also like to add a white belt to finish of the look!

Unfortunately, although I have several pairs of 40s-inspired slacks, none of them fit my waist tight enough for me to tuck a blouse in neatly (I have one of those builds with a very small waist and round hips/rear; I always have to buy pants to fit my rear and they end up being too big at the waistline!)

Thanks for the tip!
