Linzlu's 1920s Middy Blouses & Athletic Bloomers
Strap in, gang-- there's a lot.
~~~Short bloomers for CF, TF, and AF
~~~Knee-length bloomers for TF, AF and EF
Middy blouses in 10 color and 21 white variations
~~~At the hip for CF, TF, AF, and EF
~~~Longer middy blouses for TF, AF, and EF
If you're doing the math, that's 277(!!!) recolors on 13 different meshes! Shoes are H&M high tops, which are actually quite period accurate basketball shoes. I varied the textures so that the each color has a full-length and a shorter sock in TF and AF. (Girls have a variety of socks in the shorter length bloomer only. Elders only have long bloomers with mostly full-length stockings. The banner image is lying but I crashed GIMP so I'm leaving it.)
Everything is enabled for Everyday and Athletic, so once they're purchased in Everyday they will be available when you change from a dresser in Athletic. Everything hits at the natural TS2 waistline. AF top has a pregmorph.
These are the solid colors (bloomers are the same):
Because there are so freakin' many recolors and I am a completionist sicko, I am offering these as individual, standalone recolors or a much-smaller bundle with 31 shared textures in a repository separate from the actual recolor package, so you can curate and delete at will without worrying about deleting the master.

Why A Texture Repository? Look at those sizes. By combining some tops and bottom textures and having all ages share textures from one giant repository I can wheedle that down from 277 TS4 textures to just 31, plus 10 shoe/sock variants to increase the visual diversity. (I call the giant texture package a "Skell-style repository," because @whattheskell did this sometimes and she should be the patron saint of eliminating unneeded textures.)
Now you do end up with almost 300 tiny textureless package files in this particular case, and the game isn't always thrilled about that, either. BUT these can be easily combined in SimPE or CCMerger once you decide what you're keeping and what to jettison for different ages. I'll be honest: despite that "completionist sicko" thing, I do not personally need 21 mostly white middy blouses for every age.
Known Issues: I tried really hard to ensure these could be used with most other tops and bottoms. The top can accommodate the OFB jodhpurs, and the bottoms don't clip with Sentate's Amy jumper. That said, the elder is a little worse than the other two in this respect. Those EF meshes can be paunchy and odd. (But I'm following this up with a fullbody version that sacrifices versatility with default replacement suitability.)
Credits: Linzlu, for meshes and textures. Red shoes are Nabila's. Long stockings are Io's. Lifa and Mayfairsims, for WSO actions used for morphs and age conversions. @picknmixsims, for the Repository Wizard. (I learned so much messing around with the Repository Wizard this time. So long as the textures are in the same folder somewhere, you can do a lot.)
