I would call them ..straight out of my Aunt Pearls closet. She wore them every day. 

My Mom never wore them..she wore ankle length slacks (they always had a side zip and button) with a cute top or sweater...more like Audrey Hepburn. In the Summer she wore shift dresses and sandals or shorts and a  short sleeve cotton button down shirt. Occasionally a sleeveless top.

That picture is older than the 1960s!!!!!

This is the 60s.

                     

Remember, they were 100% cotton and if you were lucky, you had an electric iron for them!!

That's the 60s, not frumpy at all!

I'd call them better than a lot of things I see being worn these days.

Put your claws back in kitty!!! I think shirtwaist is the name of dresses most women wore back then.

I love the photo because that's what lovely ladies wore in those days. 

My mom called them shirt dress. 💕💕

@DREAMON  What you are describing for your mom's way of  dressing is 1960's. These dresses in the picture were most likely early 1950's or even late 1940's.  Styles change.

My mother didn't wear dresses. They moved to Arizona in the 50's and I don't remember ever seeing my mother in a dress until my dads funeral in 1967. She wore pants till the day she died.

I love them, also known as a day dress.
