I guess not???? 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, Maybe I'll just wear a button down Hawaiian shirt and look like one of the guys! Don't do that! :o It is a lovely dress and it can be used nicely. I just thought like me and my wife you had a fair amount of vintage stuff around already. This dress has 2 things really going for it, 1st it is of the era (or close enuff), 2nd it is of a nice shade of purple lavender, an excellent Tropo/Tiki shade. Just spruce yourself up with a lei, a groovy doo, some flowers for your hair, accessorise! :) Tikibars is right check out the Hukilau pix. I think Bre-elle has definitely got it all down! BTW with the letter they sent, it is no wonder you're confused! What a contradicting mess :roll: [ Edited by: Rattiki 2006-10-11 17:11 ]
