The "shirtwaist" was a ready-made manufactured blouse, popular among women as a result of artist Charles Dana Gibson's images called "Gibson girls." The shirtwaist was a white tailored blouse, often with tucks and a collar, worn with a tailored dark skirt.
Owners of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory, Max Blanck and Isaac Harris, were known as the Shirtwaist Kings. Their operation occupied the top three floors, eight through ten, of the Asch Building, at 23-29 Washington Place, on Washington Square East at Greene Street.
