Um, how about the Tiki girls? I have a lot of Hawaiian shirts but what kind of dresses should I be looking for in the thrift stores? Particularly for us older not so thin ladies? There are plenty of dresses with lovely summery island patterns but they tend to be just one type.

There is probably a city in China that makes these. Yuck!

Any ladies in the Tiki Hut?

Shampy darling, I am gonna rock your world. I am currently designing some very cool skirts, shirts and purses for us lovely retro-modern wahines. My designs are inspired by Tiki style and retro 40's pinups. I also do custom designs, so if you have something special in mind, I can make it for you.
I would recommend staying away from the tie-dye in the meantime, though. It just reeks of the Grateful Dead. Hawaiian prints are easy enough to find (though prints with TIKIs are of course preferred!). I've noticed this problem and am working to solve your dilemma! Look for me soon in Creating Tiki/Tiki Marketplace, and on my myspace page: myspace.com/kikivontiki

Oooo! Coolness! Patterns that would be nice are, volcanoes, VW buses or bugs, tiki and out riggers. Surfing is always sweet and Pirates are excellent. Looking for retro-modern cocktail dress.
