Grace short sleeve shirt
red with polka dots
1940s style short sleeve shirt in red with polka dots from Seamstress of Bloomsbury.
Perfect with your high-waisted pants and skirts.
The Grace shirt has a classic lapel collar that forms a nice V-neck. Wrinkles at the shoulders create a nice fall over the bust. The short sleeves are puffed and have a small discreet shoulder pad to emphasize the 40s silhouette.
The shirt is slightly fitted and has larger buttons down the front than the other Bloomsbury shirts.
This version is red with white polka dots, super classic yet vibrant and perfect for a summer outfit with high-waisted shorts.
Material: 100% rayon crepe de chine
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.
