Grace short sleeve shirt
navy blue
Beautiful short sleeve vintage style shirt with lapel collar in navy blue from The Seamstress of Bloomsbury.
A classic vintage style shirt in dark blue, perfect for your high waisted skirts and trousers.
This vintage-style shirt has an eye-catching lapel collar, which creates a nice and flattering v-neckline. There are light pleats at the shoulders and a light puff sleeve which has a tiny shoulder pad to give the shirt just the right silhouette. The shirt is of course fitted.
The Grace shirt is short-sleeved with a small cuff and button closure, which gives the sleeves the characteristic 40s look.
Unlike our other Bloomsbury shirts, the Grace shirt has larger buttons down the front.
- Wear the shirt with the beautiful sailor and swing trousers, for a look a la Katherine Hepburn and Marlene Dietrich.
- Style the Grace shirt with a pencil skirt in e.g. black or red that will look great with the navy blue color.
- The short sleeves allow you to show off beautiful bracelets, such as those from Rock it Rosie.
100% rayon crepe. No stretch.
Rayon crepe is a natural, lightweight and beautiful material, and we recommend that you care for the garment as they did with original 1940s clothing.
We suggest hand washing, just like they did back then. If you want to use the easier option of using a washing machine, it's very important to wash on a gentle cycle and place the garment in a laundry bag. However, we do not recommend washing in a machine as not all machines treat clothes equally well.
Avoid drying clothes in direct sunlight or in very hot places (e.g. over a radiator) as this can cause the material to expand and subsequently shrink.
If the garment has been washed too hot.
In the unlikely event of an accident, you can try the following method to get the garment back to its original size and fit. This method is not guaranteed, but may help in some cases:
- Soak the garment in cold water with a very generous amount of fabric conditioner and leave it overnight.
- Then rinse the garment in fresh cold water and while gently squeezing out the excess water, stretch the garment both width and lengthwise as far as you can.
- Lay the garment flat on a towel to let it dry slowly and keep pulling it in both directions.
