Blouses were also made in the button-on style. We are not sure about the chronology here. We know this style began was being worn in the 1910s, but it presumably appeared earlier. The drawstring blouses with a pronounced blouceing affect seem more popular at the turn of the 20th century. The buttob-on style became more popular in the 1920s. We note sets appearing. Early sets look more like one-piece suits because the bloce and pants seem to be made out of the same material.
