Sweetheart vintage style shirt blouse
Cranberry
Other colors
Elegant shirt blouse from The House of Foxy in raspberry pink with 1940s-style bishop's sleeves.
With this shirt you get both vintage elegance and a stylish everyday shirt blouse in a super feminine cut.
The shirt has a beautiful 40s-style collar, which can be opened completely with a small hidden button, but it can also be opened to a lapel collar and V-neck, so that you can show a small necklace, for example. There are beautiful pleats both at the front at the shoulders and at the back, and seams at the waist, so the shirt gets the perfect feminine fit.
There are cute little pockets with a decorative angle on the chest, and nice slightly larger mother-of-pearl buttons. The buttons finish at the waist, so the shirt blouse is ideally suited for tucking into trousers and skirts.
This one is in the warm magenta colored 'raspberry'.
There are the period light puff sleeves, and even a small shoulder pad, which makes this shirt even more authentic and gives a nice classic silhouette with straight shoulders. The sleeves have a slight balloon shape/bishop-sleeves, and close with a nice cuff.
- Beautiful authentic 1940s shirt blouse, perfect for your palazzo or sailor pants. Think Katherine Hepburn!
- Wear it with a beautiful A-line skirt
Material: 100% rayon (must be hand washed) NOTE: the material is without stretch
Size guide :
- See the picture gallery.
- The measurements in the chart are your body measurements.
- Focus mostly on the waist measurement, as the shirt should sit most fitted here, however, the shirt must not sit tight, as the fabric has no stretch
- The shirt has a 'blousson' shape, and must therefore have a slightly loose fit on the upper body
- Please note that the shirt can shrink 3%
- Jeganette (in the video) is wearing a size large/ UK 14 in the shirt.
- For more advice on choosing the right size, see the "Guide to sizes" tab below.
TIP : The Sweetheart shirt is more fitted than the 1940s shirt from HOF, which can mean that if you don't have a narrow waist, you have to take the shirt in a larger size.
Material: 100% viscose

Mondo Kaos guide
Why we love Sweetheart vintage style shirt blouse in Cranberry
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.
