Made in Hawaii






1950s Dress: Retro Glamour
Shoes: Thrifted

My dress was made in Hawaii that is. I think there is something magical about wearing a dress that was made in Hawaii so many years ago! I only wish I could see who wore it before me. Was it a woman on her honeymoon or a girl on vacation with her family or maybe a surfing girl with her boy Moondoggie....
I guess I'll never know. What I do know is that even if I haven't been to Hawaii yet, at least my dress has! Hehe! :O)

Very pretty dress! Has an almost Indian feel to it in the pattern although I realize you said Hawaiian.( I have a Hawaain dress that people often think is Indian too). melina bee
