Next time you are at Disneyland, pay close attention to the shields Rolly Crump designed up on the walls of the Tiki Room facade - that's what the pattern is based on. Not to mention all the cool "ooga booga" natives & skull piles from the Jungle Cruise! It really is a "Tiki Room/Jungle Cruise" shirt. W.E.D. is the former name of Walt Disney Imagineering, and they made a few items for sale in Adventureland when the Tiki Room opened in 1964. I had a bolt of this cloth that I gave to Kevin Kidney (it wasn't enough to make a shirt out of)... But having the actual dress or shirt is soooooo much better! Congratulations on a rare rare rare find!
