Blouse-knickers?

I found this 1936 undergarment on "La Couturiere Parisienne."

This looks quite comfortable (at least to me). Would ladies actually wear this as a blouse?

Where is it located on the site? I get the homepage in German when I click the link.

I'm sorry, I had the Google translator on, so it garbled the link. Here's the real thing:

...and if you go to the homepage and it's in German, and you would like to explore in English, there's a tiny British flag in the upper right-hand corner. There is some great information there.

Yes! this was a combo shirt and tap pants, so the skirt just went over the top. Kind of similar to the leotards of the 80's, but much more flattering. My question is how would you go to the bathroom

It's a great way to stay tucked it. Is that one that buttons at the bottom?

it's cute, but it reminds me of pajamas....I do however like how tailored at the waist it is

I see buttons at the bottom, like a baby's onesie.
