Hawaiin Dresses...dating

Good Morning,
I found these 2 lovely dresses and 1 pantsuit, although I believe "pantsuit" may be antiquated. I checked the label threads and such on VFG and cannot find these particular labels.

Labels read: Malihini Hawaiin, Alice Polynesian Fashions, and Carol and Mary Honolulu by Malia

Can anyone help me? I'm a 60's gal, and these seem so. I absolutely fell in love with the bright pink halter. Oh my! Heart be still :love008:

one and two are 60's three is 70's..they should do well with this maxi/patio dress fad!!
 
Thank you for the description and dating. I love these styles but have yet to sell on eBay or any other online site because I realize that descriptions are key to sales. I am about ready to post some items and believe me, my little palms are sweaty.

Thank you, I can use all the input I can get.
 
Yes, it is jumpsuit, thanks for that. I am not sure how I should word this jumpsuit for an auction on ebay. I will be putting a few pieces of clothing on there for the first time and I've been researching what words to actually use. I am not sure "jumpsuit" will work though.
 
Hawaii is always a good title word, and I would definitely get horse into the jumpsuit title. I might be missing a picture, but I don't see any halters. I absolutely agree with Sara, 60s-60s-70s, and I agree with you Nadine...these are really cute! Very best of luck listing!
 
Thanks Denise,
I shudder when I come in with questions with all these seasoned people. But I come across so many items that I thought I'd give eBay a try.

Sorry about the halter, don't know why it didn't post.

Now, personally, I buy from you gals for my own personal collection. :)

Denise, does "palazzo" work on the jumpsuit?
 
Nadine, please don't shudder, you are absolutely welcome here! I don't know if I would use palazzo for the jumpsuit, as I think of extravagantly wide leg pants with that term.

I want to show you a dress I sold in 2004:

Oh my goodness!! My jumpsuits cousin. That is a great dress. I thought I had responded to this in the morning and here I find it never posted...I wasn't ignoring. :o

Here we are 2007 and I've had this jumpsuit in my closet for about 6 months. lol
