what are blouses
A modern-day woman wearing a brown blouse. A blouse (English pronunciation: /blaÊz/, /blaÊs/, or /bluËz/) is a loose-fitting upper garment that was formerly worn by workmen, peasants, artists, women, and children. It is typically gathered at the waist or hips (by a waistband or belt) so that it hangs loosely (blouses) over the wearer's body.
