THREE OF MY OLDEST TRUE VINTAGE HAWAIIAN GOWNS
From the 1960’s back to, maybe the 1920’s, these three are my oldest vintage examples of Hawaiian gowns. From the farthest left, to right –
Psychedelic hues and patterns on the far left – not hard to see the late Sixties here. The center dress is from the 1950’s and is fashioned in the traditional Hawaiian style, with a panel on the back that is almost like a train, without the dragging hem.
On the far right is a mystery dress with a metal side zipper. It has images in the print that are not your standard Hawaiian shirt variety and the fabric is very different –
instead of being the heavy cotton that I’d usually expect, it is a fluid material that I’d guess is rayon. If the label did not indicate that it was made in Hawaii, I’d say it had come from Japan. The toggle closure at the neck is also something often seen on Chinese and Japanese garments. It’s also got a very 1930’s cut – close to the body.
Hmmm . . . . . . . . . this is REALLY Mata Hari undercover espionage stuff. I wonder how she wound her way to the place where I discovered her . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

TRUE VINTAGE 1960’S DeLISO DEBS BLACK SUEDE PUMPS
When was the last time you could buy a new pair of desirable brand-name shoes for $8.00, even though on sale? Check out the original price sticker from a department store.
Deliso Debs were popular, stylish shoes for women from 1919 until the 1970’s. They had a reputation for being well-made and having a great fit. I have others and just love them.
This pair is somewhat dressy, but versatile. Again, how can you go wrong with a good pair of black pumps?
