Shirts and blouses are perfect for creating a vintage-inspired look because they are easy to style into the waist.
Poppy vintage style shirt blouse
navy with dots
Other colors
Beautiful long-sleeved shirt blouse in navy blue with polka dots and vintage details from The Seamstress of Bloomsbury.
The perfect basic shirt for your vintage look.
The blouse features a small lapel collar and flattering draping over the bust.
It has long, slightly voluminous sleeves with a classic cuff; the small authentic shoulder pads give the lightweight fabric a beautiful drape over the bust.
The shirt is slightly fitted, and together with the small shoulder pads, the blouse creates the iconic hourglass silhouette with full shoulders and a slim waist. It is made from Bloomsbury's soft and breathable signature fabric and fastens with buttons at the front.
- A lovely blouse in true vintage style that fits perfectly into your vintage-inspired wardrobe!
- Wear the blouse with high-waisted trousers or skirts to further emphasize the waist.
- Available in several colors.
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.

Mondo Kaos guide
Why we love Poppy vintage style shirt blouse in navy 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.
