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"

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

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!
 
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

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