This is a set-in half belt.

Being the offspring of a seamstress comes in handy when the brain cells decide to kick in. ;)

yep - or a back inset waistband. But half belt may work best.

That is a really lovely blouse, Carolyn! I love how they used the design of the fabric to make the flowers look like they are drooping down from a tree or something.
