Aloha wear/prints

I have a pretty large collection of Aloha wear, mostly dresses I thought I'd share my favorite and hope to see more posted

I found this at a flea market and I think paid only a few dollars for it..it is a rare Disney Adventureland print, and I have heard of a shirt with the same print but with a Disney Tag. My dress has a "The Kahala" tag. I asked a Disney expert and he didn't know why, either. The selvage is marked "W.E.D. Enterprises, Inc. 1964"

see the head hunters, tiki masks, and piles of skulls!

Oh and it fits me! here's an old pic of me wearing it at a party

thanks ookoo for the picture, glad to see you here!

I have many more crazy aloha prints to share, hope to see others too!

 

In the Tiki, tiki, tiki tiki tiki room....

The Tiki Room is an attraction at Disneyland and Walt Disney World.

 

i LOVE hawaiian prints. Your Disney dress is fabulous--what a great find and it looks wonderful on you.

This is one of my favorite Hawaiian sarongs I've had by Gladys Williams of Honolulu

wow that crane dress is amazing!

 

Ooooh, I love Hawaiian prints! I can't top that Tiki Room dress or that amazing crane dress, but here are some of mine:

I like the beautiful floral patterns in some aloha wear:







I also like the geometric "tapa" patterns, based on traditional polynesian designs:



It's really fun when these two concepts are combined in unique
designs:





Thanks for starting this thread, Eel!

 

I adore this print, having trouble writing it up, since the next step is offering it for sale.

 

LOVE that Disney print!!! And I remember that crane dress....cool stuff. I have no Hawaiians right now, I did sell 2 amazing Kamehameha 50s wiggles recently but the prints were fairly tame. I just listed this Ruth Clarage on eBay, its actually a Jamaican dress but I love the colors and that bold datura print! Ang

 

Nothing like some happy Hawaiian prints to brighten up a drab day like we are having here today!! I have a few up this week also...

Oy, I hope these aren't too big- or too many. Wait, there's no such thing as too much tropical wear!
