Pin Up Style Nurse Shirt Design: Feel Safe at Night, Sleep with a Nurse, Retro Rosie Pose
This Pin Up Style Nurse design is a single retro illustration of a woman flexing her arm in a “We Can Do It” pose, and you get it as an SVG with matching PNG, DXF, EPS and PDF files. It is made for shirts, mugs, tote bags, tumblers and vinyl decals. The artwork shows a pin-up nurse with a hair bun, a nurse cap bearing a red cross, and a stethoscope, set against retro sunset stripes in mustard yellow, orange, brick red and navy blue. Her coral tank top and the tattoo on her arm that reads Nurse with red cross add to the vintage look. The lettering FEEL SAFE AT NIGHT and SLEEP WITH A NURSE runs across the design in a bold, playful style. It suits Nurses Week gifts, graduation celebrations, hospital appreciation events and anyone in the nursing or healthcare field who likes a nostalgic, humorous design.
Design breakdown
The design is cut in 8 layers, using mustard yellow, orange, brick red, navy blue, coral, skin tone, brown and white. Its main elements are the pin-up nurse with a hair bun, the nurse cap with a red cross, the flexed arm, the tattoo reading Nurse with red cross, the stethoscope, the coral tank top, and the retro sunset stripes behind her. The lettering FEEL SAFE AT NIGHT, SLEEP WITH A NURSE and Nurse is set within the artwork. The file is a single design on a white background in portrait orientation.
