It helps to know how it came about-Thanks <b>texstyle&nbsp;</b>and Wiki.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Angie</b>, are you aware of the particular slang we are talking about? Pussy is just not used for a cat anymore, at least around here. It's a word I never, ever, use.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pushy-bow-blouses#post-1729438 Tue, 20 Sep 2016 02:01:11 +0000 Angie 1729438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a pussy - shortened from the word pussy cat.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pushy-bow-blouses#post-1729301 Mon, 19 Sep 2016 22:21:50 +0000 April 1729301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES the name bothers me. &nbsp;YES I always thought the style was one I would never wear. &nbsp;And then Angie did that post on how to take the "priss" out of this sort of blouse and I became obsessed with the outfit below.</p> <p>But, I'm still not convinced I will get mileage out of the PB blouse. &nbsp;So even though I have bought the shoes and already have a black jacket and have bought black skinnies and am passing on the black fingerless gloves, I am considering substituting a non-bow blouse for the PB blouse.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pushy-bow-blouses#post-1729286 Mon, 19 Sep 2016 21:33:15 +0000 texstyle 1729286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, I looked it up on Wiki:</p> <p>"A pussy bow or pussycat bow is a style of neckwear often associated with women's blouses<br /> and bodices. It takes the form of a bow tied at the neck, similar to<br /> those that used to be tied around kittens' and cats' necks.</p> <p>While bows at the neck had been worn since at least the nineteenth<br /> century, the term "pussy bow" or "pussy cat bow" took hold in the 20th<br /> century. In 1934 the St. Petersburg Times offered a pattern for an Anne<br /> Adams dress featuring a convertible collar which could be worn in four<br /> different ways, including as "an intriguingly feminine pussy cat bow<br /> tied high under your chin."</p> <p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pussy_bow#cite_note-1" rel="nofollow"></a></p> <p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pussy_bow#cite_note-1" rel="nofollow"></a></p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pushy-bow-blouses#post-1729285 Mon, 19 Sep 2016 21:31:03 +0000 texstyle 1729285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Where DOES the name come from anyway? I'm more likely to go with a simple tie neck too so I think this is a good option. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pushy-bow-blouses#post-1729173 Mon, 19 Sep 2016 16:47:44 +0000 JAileen 1729173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this better than a tied bow, for the same reason. I wore them with suits in the 80s. I don't like the name either. Pizza sounds good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pushy-bow-blouses#post-1729172 Mon, 19 Sep 2016 16:45:22 +0000 Janet 1729172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Heh, I'm not a fan of the name or the style, but I do sometimes like a simple tie neck left undone on me. This looks like a version I can get behind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pushy-bow-blouses#post-1729170 Mon, 19 Sep 2016 16:42:35 +0000 Inge 1729170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your alternative, Deb, and also love the pattern.

Never liked the name pussy bow either, but not enough to focus on it much.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pushy-bow-blouses#post-1728996 Mon, 19 Sep 2016 01:15:41 +0000 deb 1728996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, first off, does the name pussy Bow blouse bother anyone else except me? Secondly, I cannot do another bow tied blouse after living through the 80's. I found this number at J Crew and fell in love. Similar vibe just less precious. It is 100% silk and I threw it in the washer and dryer then uung it up. No shrinking what so ever. Please ignore the chin. I took this photo waiting for my thin crust chicken pesto pizza. </p>
