We absolutely adore anything by Alfred Shaheen! Especially these 50's vintage Hawaiian dresses with the cute little tea length full skirts. They're so flattering on everyone. This one has the elastic stitching around the bodice on the sides & in back so it stretches about 2" for a nice comfy fit. In the front it has the wonderful layered shelf bust style...fitted on top and flared at the bottom with the really full circle style skirt. It has a built in white cotton bra inside and zips in back. The strap is halter style & buttons on. So feminine and adorable yet sexy too! A real classic bombshell dress. This dress is so sought after & is a collectors item. A classic pin up style dress. It's also rare because it's a bigger size. Most vintage dresses are tiny & have a 24" waist but this dress is for more normal modern girls... a bit bigger.
