Found this dress in a thrift store and can't seem to find any information on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You!

Hi Everyone! I have recently purched an Alfred Shaheen dress with adorable kokashi doll prints, which has been a long-time dream of mine. :) As I examined the dress and the label closely, I noticed that its a kind of label Ive never seen before. It is the end of the first "S" letter which is...

Hi everyone, my first post to the forum after haunting it for some time. :) I have acquired a red Shaheen romper with the chopstick pattern on it. The lining is pretty dingy and I was wondering if there is any advice out there for how to wash it. Generally speaking I'll handwash in oxyclean for...

I've been researching this piece for quite some time now, which has always lead me to a dead end, unfortunately. Having trouble finding a single one with the same print or style -- almost feels like it doesn't exist, to be honest! Has anyone come across this print and/or style before that can...

any information on this shaheen piece would be appreciated. i think it may be from the 60's / 70's ? i can't quite tell what the man is doing in the design? also, was this typical for shaheens work? thank you!

I love the designs of Alfred Shaheen, but would like to broaden my horizons when looking around online or in thrift stors for pieces to add to my collection. It's easier in thrift stores as I can just stumble upon something..not so easy online. What are some other designers I should keep my eye...

Hi everyone! I purchased a dress on-line, which looks like a Shaheen dress to me, but it has an early Penthouse Gallery label in it. I know that Alfred Shaheen produced dresses for other brands too, and sometimes it is possible to find his dresses with two different labels. I wonder if any of...

Hello, After some assistance on a Shaheen dress I have the selvedge is printed as follows "A Shaheen of Honolulu Screen print by Oriana" Who/ What was Oriana? I've searched and searched the internet to no avail As an aside, pic of the dress and selvedge alongside this post : ) Liz

Hi, Does anyone know if there was a milliner in the famous Shaheen family? Possibly back in the 1940s and 1950s? B

Hi, I'm wondering if you can help me date this shaheen dress. I know the label resource says 70's, but a few things are making me think late 60's. The length is mid calf. In the pics it looks white, but it's actually a very light gray. Also, whats the best term for these sleeves? Trumpet...

I came across this beauty today and was wondering its worth and where is the best place to try an sell it. I looked at the label page and it seems it is from the 70s-80s. It is a size 16. It says style 10416, RN 19810. It is a beautiful sheer gray with a gray lining except the sleeves which are...

Wow! If anyone can get to Pullman, Washington, this exhibit is a must. It travels to San Jose later on, so some of you will have closer access. I was really thrilled to meet Alfred Shaheen’s daughter and son-in-law, Camille Shaheen-Tunberg and Bill Tunberg, at the exhibit’s opening. They were...

I was just reading today's Honolulu paper a little bit earlier and there is a wonderful article about Alfred Shaheen and the exhibit opening this Thurs. at WSU. (Washington State University in Pullman, WA.) http://www.staradvertiser.com/features/20110404_aloha_for_the_world.html Toward...

Hi, Any ideas on the date of this pink floral linen Alfred Shaheen skirt? It has the name Shaheen on the front and along the inside seam (last photo). It says "Alfred Shaheen - Hand Printed In Hawaii." Thank you!

I would most definitely say this is '50s to early '60s. However, the "Dry Clean Only" label is throwing me. I do have another Shaheen that's in my own closet (worn regularly) that's black silk with a classic '50s shirtwaist style to it. I always thought maybe mine was later...
