Anyone have a vintage Hawaiian style dress or outfit in a larger size for a tall lady? My friend's message to me below:

"I have a wedding to go to in about 3 weeks. It is a Hawaiian wedding and I have no idea what to wear. I would love to wear something vintage, but being size 12 and tall, it is almost impossible to find. I knew that vintage sizes were different, but I think my biggest problem is really my height. I am six feet tall, and fairly evenly spaced, you know... not long or short waisted. My measurements are around 39/34/44. I am fairly plain, don't like a whole lot of color, but understand that this is Hawaiian and you can't get away from that too much! My skin tone is fair, very fair, and don't believe that pinks look very good on me with my reddish brown hair."

ANY leads or suggestions are VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!

hmmm I have a brown 70s Hawaiian dress... two actually that my fit... my mom wears a 12 and is 5'10" and it fit her. It is browns and creams in color.

They are in my booth though. I can take pictures for her tomorrow if she is interested. They are more casual, maxi dresses. Made in Hawaii.

She may like them, They are both in excellent VTG cond and I think I only have them priced at like 30 bucks each, maybe a little less, I can not remember. Definitely not over $40

So, I will take pictures and post by noon tomorrow. :-):sunshine:
 
I have this vintage Shaheen poly dress and jacket that might work for her. The fabric has quite a bit of stretch so the 38.5 bust measurement might work for her.

If she's interested, ask her to please contact me through Etsy.

I think I have at least one in that size range that has a more muted pattern, with a subdued green as the background--which might look good with red hair! I'll take a look 'round for it this evening. And it seems quite long, probably close to ankle-length on a 6-ft tall gal.
