Vintage 1960s African Waxhaus Hummingbird Print Two-Piece Set Super Wax Cotton

Vintage 1960s African Waxhaus Hummingbird Print Two-Piece Set Super Wax Cotton Please note that the color in the photos more accurately represents the true colors. The set is more vibrant than it appears in the videos.* At first glance, I thought this extraordinary set might be Hawaiian, with its bold colors and dramatic silhouette, but it’s actually a custom-made creation cut from 1960s African Waxhaus (Super Wax) cotton, a textile celebrated for its vivid artistry, intricate prints, and incredible longevity. Design Details: Top: Tailored short sleeves with a fitted bodice, framed by a cascade of champagne-hued ruffles front and back. Skirt: Curve-skimming mermaid silhouette with a wide cream contrast band, a dramatic bow detail, and a flared, swishable hem. Print: Fuchsia, citrus yellow, orange, and deep violet, botanical pattern with hidden hummingbirds. Condition: Appears unworn. However, the buttonhole was never finished. A few small spots are present on the cream sections and near the neckline ruffle (see photos with pennies for reference). Fabric remains crisp and the colors brilliant. Measurements (taken flat, doubled where necessary). Shown on a modern size 4 mannequin, and fits perfectly…... *Top* Overall length: 20" Shoulders: 18" Bust: 16" Waist: 1 Sleeves: 12" *Skirt* Overall length: 41.5 Waist: 26.5 Hips: 18"
