Hawaiian Ooh La La!


I managed to find myself a beautiful vintage Hawaiian dress set, ridiculously cheap, in my colors and most importantly, in my size. I have been dying for warm weather to arrive so I can wear it!


This set is a Cole of California. I have a couple of Cole pieces and they are all very well made and gorgeous. This dress had a bra and bodice built in so you could skip that pesky bra altogether. Unfortuately the moulded cups had disintegrated to powder so I had to pull them out. Otherwise, it's in almost unworn condition.


My hair flower is completely gorgeous and awesome and I absolutley love it. Thank you Steve!

    Show-stoppngly, wildly gorgeous! I love the darker, almost jewel-like tones and how wonderfully this dress hugs you in all the right places. Amazing find, honey, thank you for sharing it with us.

    Gorgeous! Love it! I've been wanting a dress like that too but I'd have to make it and it's winter her so I'm probably not going to work on it quite yet.

      Oooh, let me know how you go making one. I bought this set in Winter and it's been maddening waiting to wear it.

    I love your Cole of California dress on you as well as your Bakelite. You look so stylish from head to toe.
