Bonnie short-sleeved shirt in sailor style
green with dots
Other colors
1940s style cropped shirt with tie collar in blue with floral print from The Seamstress of Bloomsbury.
The popular Bonnie shirt in a short-sleeved summer version.
The Bonnie shirt is a great vintage style shirt with many beautiful authentic details.
The shirt has a fine collar that ends in two ties, which are put through a small slit. The buttons down the front are delicately covered by the ribbon.
The style is the classic blousy shape with pleats that emphasize the figure, and a fixed waistband finishes the shirt with just the right vintage look that also highlights the waist.
The shirt is popular both with beautiful high-waisted pants and with our many vintage style skirts.
The shirt is made from Seamstress of Bloomsbury's famous signature fabric, rayon crepe de chine, which has a smooth look with a nice drape.
- Accentuate the maritime sailor look with bottoms and accessories in navy blue and red
Material: 100% rayon crepe de chine
Material: 100% Rayon Crepe. No stretch!
For products made in Rayon Crepe fabric, we suggest that you care for the garment in the same way as you would for original 40s clothing.
We recommend that you hand wash the garment as it was done in the 1940s, although today you can dry clean it instead if you wish!
It's best not to dry clothes in direct sunlight or in an excessively hot place (like over a radiator) as this can cause the natural material to expand and subsequently shrink.
If you accidentally wash or dry your garment too hot, try the following method to regain the original size and fit. Although this is not guaranteed to work, it may help!
1. Soak the garment in cold water with a very generous amount of fabric conditioner and leave it overnight.
2. 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.
3. Lay the garment flat on a towel to let it dry slowly and keep pulling it in both directions.

Mondo Kaos guide
Why we love Bonnie short-sleeved shirt in sailor style in green with dots
The details
Collars, buttons, sleeves or prints can make all the difference and give the look more personality.
Styling options
Wear it with high-waisted jeans, trousers or a skirt. Button it up for a classic look or tie it at the waist for a more relaxed retro feel.
Styling tip
Shirts and blouses work especially well with high-waisted bottoms because they can be styled into the waist and create a flattering silhouette.
Era inspiration
Inspired by the simple and functional silhouettes of the 1940s, with clean lines and a feminine everyday feel.
Find the right vintage-inspired top or shirt
Our vintage-inspired tops, blouses and shirts feature feminine fits that accentuate the waist and pair perfectly with high-waisted trousers and skirts. The styles are primarily inspired by 1940s, 1950s and 1960s fashion, when puff sleeves, elegant collars, tie-neck details, flattering necklines and fitted silhouettes were among the era’s characteristic features.
We always recommend checking the bust and waist measurements for each individual style rather than simply choosing your usual size. Some vintage-inspired shirts are made from non-stretch fabrics and have a looser fit, while other tops contain stretch and fit closer to the body. Choose the vintage-inspired top or retro shirt that suits the look you want – from a relaxed everyday outfit to classic 1940s style, feminine 1950s fashion or a colourful 1960s look.
