The image is not a blouse, it's a women's shirt. A blouse is gathered in at the waist, or tucked into the skirt or trousers giving this impression. Simply being worn by a woman does not make it a blouse!
- For contrast against the opposing article for men, the dress shirt, the image should be laid flat on the table to show these angles sewn tighter and looser around a women's body. The men's version is just a box shape with 90 degree angle at the arms. 74.98.106.208 20:19, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
What are the sources for the various hypotheses given at the end?
Weren't medieval men's shirts or shirts in general called blouses?
[edit] Choli
I don't think a choli belongs in this article--it is distinctly different. A blouse is a loose garment that can be tucked into a skirt and allowed to "blouse out" over the waistband. A choli is fitted and usually cropped and therefore cannot be tucked into a skirt, with which it isn't even traditionally worn. A choli and sari are just inherently diffent from a blouse and skirt. If anything, maybe your could put them together under "Women's Separates." A discussion of the choli belongs in an article called "choli" and not here. If I don't hear from anyone, I'll come back an delete this section.OwenSaunders (talk) 22:32, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
