Stunning 1970s Hawaiian print dress by Malihini Hawaii.

The print is exceptionally beautiful. Oversized hibiscus blossoms in luminous shades of oranges, yellows and browns. The fabric is cotton "bark cloth". As a full length dress it is quite dramatic and would make a bold statement. Not so brave? The dress could easily be shortened for more versatility. Use the extra fabric to make a matching bag!

Very Lilliesque hand print cotton dress from the 1960s. The label is missing from this dress but I am fairly certain it is Lily Pulitzer. If not then another equally talented designer. The cotton has a lavender background with green white and magenta "Mod Tropics" flower print. Sleeveless fitted bodice with novel notched collar. Thick white cotton lace defines the center front and waistline. Nicely cut A-line skirt with just enough drape.
The dress is constructed in the Lily tradition with white cotton batiste underlining and lace hem binding.
The size is a generous medium around a modern 10.

Bust 43"''...
Waist 33''....
Hips 44''...

The background is white cotton twill which is embroidered all over with little blue flowers and trailing leaves and vines. There is a line of green piping down the center front. The swimsuit is cut like a mini sun dress with white cotton bloomers beneath. A beautifully made swimsuit with built in, all cotton bra and shirred elasticized panels on the sides. There is light boning for stability. The back has a metal zipper and the straps are adjustable. The size is a generous medium around a modern size 10. It will fit the following measurements well.

Breathtaking bark cloth Hawaiian dress from the 1960s. I see lots of Hawaiian printed dresses but this one is the most beautiful I have seen in a while. I love this earth tone print against the black background. I also love the way the pattern is placed to one side instead of in the center. This is so much more interesting to the eye I think and gives it a unique quality. The cut is simple and elegant long column with a sleeveless scoop necked bodice with elasticized empire waist line. The waist has a delicate cord in olive which ties just under the bust. The inside of the bodice is faced with this same olive green. The back of the skirt is vented to the knee for ease of movement. There are two labels in this dress one reads Made in Hawaii the other has the RN number size style and reads 100% cotton. The company on record with this RN # is Stardust Inc.The dress should fit a modern size 8-10 and has the following measurements. Bust 36" Hips 42" (the waist stretches) and the length of the dress from shoulder to hem is 53".

The label reads Paradise-Hawaii Made In Honolulu. It has a mandarin collar and the cut is boxy, with bust darts for a bit of shape. The arm holes are sleeveless kimono style which gives the appearance of short cap sleeves. There are slanted patch pockets in front and it buttons all the way to the neck with little silver decorative buttons. The side seams have 5" vents at the hip. The size is a medium/large with a 40" bust. The length from shoulder to hem is 26".
