1930s Bonnie Blouse - Lemon - product shot

Our beloved 1930s Bonnie blouse returns in a limited ā€˜Lemon’... a true everyday treasure, as wearable as it is authentic.

We simply love the details on this wee beauty - an authentic design based on an original. This recreates the iconic late 1930s look with its darted nipped in waist and fitted shoulders but with the blouson volume into the bust.

This 30s inspired blouse is packed with original vintage detail and can be paired with 30s & 40s separates alike. It gives a really 30s look due to its high neckline with small collar, curved yoke and nipped in waist. Sleeves have a small sleeve roll to enhance the shoulder.Ā 

Waistline is darted throughout to create the iconic blouson looks of the time.

Produced in our signature vintage reproduction rayon crepe in 'lemon' - perfect for spring and to pair with a variety of skirts and trousers. Please note that colours vary on different screens and we may not always be able to accurately represent it.

Key 30s features include:-
- high neckline 'button up to the top' with small 30s inspired collar
- short sleeves
- waist darts
- covered buttons
- curved front and back yoke with gathers on back/tucks on front

Made in Europe

A Little Note for Returning Customers: We use replica fabrics inspired by original 1940s materials, so slight variations between colourways may occur.

Fabric: 100% rayon crepe

Washing instructions:Ā Cold hand wash (shrinkage may occur) - dry flat - iron back into shape OR Dry clean.Ā 100% rayon fabrics, whilst they are more authentic, they do require more care than synthetic fibres

too short

The shirt is too short. The size, fit, fabric, and color are all perfect, but the shirt is simply too short. When I wear it with a skirt or trousers, it keeps coming untucked, especially at the sides. It really needs to be about 5 cm longer to fit properly. I'm a bit disappointed because I ordered it in several colors, but I can't really wear them.

Love the colour

Love the colour – a wonderful yellow, just perfect! The fabric is lovely as well.
As for the size, things get a bit interesting. I already own the Bonnie Blouse in Pistache in size 12, but since the Bonnie Blouse Lemon was sold out in size 12, I decided to order a size 14, thinking I could alter it where needed.
To my surprise, the size 14 fits perfectly across the bust (which is usually challenging for me, as my bust measures 95/96 cm while my waist is 68/69 cm). I will only need to take it in slightly at the waist. So, I'm happy with this Blouse in size 14 :-)

I love this blouse and have it in 2 colours

I love this blouse and have it in 2 colours already. I always get so many compliments when I wear it as it’s such a good tailored fit for me as I have a big bust but am very petit in the body. I love that its versatile dress in down with jeans or smarten up with a skirt

1930s Bonnie Blouse Plum

Super blouse. Colour really gorgeous and versatile. The fabric itself is lovely.

Beautiful billowy blouse on the shorter side

These are beautiful blouses, tailored to enhance shape but loose fitting in a billowy way. It's true that they are on the shorter side - if you have a long torso like me, they will come untucked even with the most high-waisted of skirts/trousers. The apricot is more saturated than it appears on my screen (which I gathered from other reviews before buying). It's definitely orange, but in a luminous, gentle and non-garish kind of way. Apricot is a fitting name for the colour, but "sorbet orange" would also describe it well. I'm very fair skinned and blonde - not entirely sure the colour suits me, but it's fun to wear anyway as it brings so much light.

Helena

Fit fine everywhere except the bust, where there's a lot of gaping. Strange, because my bust measurements are quite smaller than the size guide indicates for the size I ordered, so I didn't expect this to be an issue. Will return.

Hello Helena, I've contacted you about your issues with your order, do let us know a little more about this Bonnie bust issue in our email so that we can help you with your entire experience! Apologies for your disappointment with the fit. We'll speak soon hopefully, Foxy Team

Gorgeous

When I tried this blouse on I was wearing a black bra and you couldn't see through the fabric. I'm a trained seamstress and have spent hours sewing my own clothes because I appreciate quality, detail and can't often find vintage clothing that fits me. At last I've found a company that ticks all the boxes! House of Foxy are investment pieces and I hope to add more to my wardrobe soon.

Stylish, elegant and useful

This is my second of these Bonnie blouses - the colours are really lovely and they are so practical for work, easy to wear with skirts or trousers with a cardigan over the top. They also wash well (though they do need careful ironing). The lilac shade is very pretty and delicate.

Like another reviewer I do find it a little bit short, I wish it were just a couple of cm longer so I can lift my arms without risking coming untucked at the middle! But overall I heartily recommend and am looking forward to trying some of the long-sleeved styles too.

Such a beautiful and delicate blouse

I ordered 2 of them because I love this design so much! It makes me feel like a true 1930's gal. The details are simply exquisite: the back of the collar where the two pieces meet, the delicate darts on the front, the yoke on the back... It is very short, as it's been said in previous comments, but so far I have worn it with a cardigan so it didn't bother me. The fabric is very soft and feels luxurious. Love!

Beth McDonald (Marina del Rey, US)
Very cute but why so short?

I love almost everything about this blouse: the style, the color, the fit. But it's SO short. Even in my highest of high waisted trousers, every time I raise my arms the blouse pulls out. And I'm short-waisted! Still, I like it enough I'm considering another in a different color.

Hello Beth!

The Bonnie is supposed to be a cropped style for high waisted tucking... However this sounds wrong for you! We'd love to assess if this is a faulty blouse for you, please do drop us an email and we'll be sure to investigate your legnth issue for you.

Best wishes,
The HoF Team x

Bonnie blouse plum

Had my eye on this blouse for a while and so glad I bought it. Very feminine and matches really well with my navy high waisted trousers and floral vintage style skirt. Good quality and love the detail.

Fabulous coo-tonedl colour

Hooray for some cool toned garments from HOF. Absolutely delighted with this lilac bonnie, which is perfect for my summer colouring. I know a 10 fits me well new, but I've learnt to go up a size to take into account shrinkage from laundering (washing machine on cold for 15 minutes, 400rpm spin). This is just what works for me and my machine, and HOF recommend a handwash.
I also bought the sweetheart in this colour as I didn't want to miss my chance.

Didn't get the job but love the blouse

I bought this for an interview - I thought that if I didn't get the job, at least I'd have a lovely new blouse. I bought a size up and it fits really well and looks very swish. I wanted something lightweight that didn't expose my chest or restrict my arms, and this is perfect. In fact, I've bought it in lilac and antique as well (beautiful consolation prizes for not getting the job - any excuse!)

Well, we’re sorry to hear the job didn’t come through - they don't deserve you! We're thrilled to hear the Bonnie blouse brought a bit of joy and confidence your way.

Sending you lots of luck for the next opportunity - and in the meantime, keep shining in plumā¤ļø

With warmest wishes,
Team Foxy
