Fifties Blouses

These two at left and the one pictured above, are very basic Fifties blouses. Above and at top left, note the soft draping. The blouse left and below is simple and timeless. The rolled sleeve was popular, as was mongramming.

At left, we see essentially the same shirt, one with short sleeves, and one with the kimono sleeve. Both have a soft collar.

The soft feminine look of the puff sleeve blouses at right is in keeping with the Fifties idea of womanhood.

Variations on a theme. At left, the yellow blouse has a shawl collar to soften and flatter. The other three could be worn alone or under a suit jacket.

Left - A young woman might wear a halter top in summer. The look was still very discreet and unlike today, no belly buttons are showing.

Right - Showing the many possible sleeve variations of the Fifties.
