Tiki Fashion of the early 1960s - General Tiki

I guess I was in a hurry to get a dress from the early 1960s, so I hoped the one I posted would work. I guess not???? Do you see the woman in the background behind Audrey Hepburn, where she's lighting her cigarette? That woman is wearing a shiny, more full-skirted dress, so I figured that full skirts were still "in" at the time. But I guess a full skirt was more or a day dress? I am so frustrated, because it is so hard to find something like this to wear and I really want a chance at winning the costume prizes! I have the idea of the look in my head, but I'm not a seamstress, so really frustrated here! Maybe I'll just wear a button down Hawaiian shirt and look like one of the guys! Crystal
