The Hukilau brings out the best (and craziest!) in Hawaiian and nautical fashions from bygone years. Here’s a quick photo montage…and yes, that is a mermaid in the water!!!

Also….please note the amazing ‘Yankee Clipper’ Hotel in the last photo. It’s a wonderful reminder of kitschy Americana mid-century architecture. Enjoy!

Aloha….I finally got to wear my new dress! This is a Rocket Betty design made from vintage Alfred Shaheen hand printed fabric panels. The challenge was fitting the curves without impacting the printed design. I couldn’t be happier with the results. Now, I just need to find more dead stock Shaheen fabric!
