Vintage 60’s Mildred’s of Hawaii Sarong Dress

This vintage 60’s dress was made by Mildred’s of Hawaii, one of the several labels of this era coming out of Hawaii that catered directly to the thriving tourist market. The sarong style skirting with its attached illusion of a wrap skirt complete with a little tie of fabric that sits at the side of waist is so flattering! Elastic panels run along each side of the bodice so the dress adjusts to fits you perfectly. The panels go from 2.5” unstretched to 4” stretched. This also makes it very comfortable to wear as it move with you. The bodice has a hand stitched, gathered detailing of fabric that curves around towards that bow at the side for a flattering line. The print is a a vibrant wash of colors in a floral motif in tropical themed shades of flamingo pink, jungle green and sunset yellows. The dress is fully lined through the bodice in a white cotton and the skirt is unlined. Boning in the bust area and elastic panel on each side. It closes with a back painted metal zipper. Made of a soft cotton. Vintage size 18 which ranges from sizes 8 - 12 in current sizing. Size Medium / Large based on measurements and my experience with the dress (worn once by me and I have owned it for over ten years!) It is very pretty and very flattering on. Excellent vintage condition. Perfect for Hawaii, Hawaiiana collectors, hukilau, tiki oasis, tiki, pin-up, vintage, Halloween
