Navy Polka Dot Blouse with Bow – Classic vintage elegance from The Seamstress of Bloomsbury
Beautiful navy blue blouse with delicate polka dots and authentic vintage details from The Seamstress of Bloomsbury. A feminine classic inspired by the elegant silhouettes and timeless style of the 1940s.
The blouse has short sleeves and a beautiful tie bow at the neck, highlighting its sophisticated vintage look. The lightly fitted cut, combined with discreet shoulder pads, creates the iconic hourglass silhouette with defined shoulders and a narrow waist.
The delicate smocking details at the shoulders add extra character and give the blouse the authentic retro look that The Seamstress of Bloomsbury is known and loved for.
The blouse is made from Bloomsbury's soft, breathable signature fabric, which drapes beautifully and feels comfortable to wear all day. It fastens at the front with four elegant mother-of-pearl buttons, completing its classic look.
A versatile vintage blouse that fits perfectly into a vintage-inspired wardrobe and can easily be styled for both everyday wear and special occasions.

Size guide:
We recommend wearing the blouse with high-waisted trousers or skirts toaccentuate the waist and create the classic vintage silhouette.
Tip: If you have a larger bust, we recommend shirts from The House of Foxy, which generally have a little extra room across the chest.
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.
