Hi! The Vintage Chanteuse here. Things are getting steamy here at 5th Street Vintage so this week are throwing ourselves a Tiki Party! Here is Yesterday's Lady's guide to the perfect Tiki Party Dress. All you need is a brightly colored flowered dress, some beach sandals and flower in your hair--and certainly don't forget your lei! It is so easy to achieve this look!
Now, for us at 5th Street Vintage we believe every dress has a story and here is the story of this gem from 1959! Jeri from Geneva, Nebraska wore this 1959 Hawaiian Fishtail Muumuu to her wedding on a Hawaiian Beach. She recalled dancing barefoot on the beach with her new husband with the ocean waves as their music. This dress is a classic. The royal blue and teal palm leave pattern is accented with ruffled sleeves and a fishtail train which is perfect for twirls!
These 1960's beach sandals, vintage plastic fruit necklace, and bamboo fan add that extra tropical flair to the outfit.
If a dress isn't your style, check-out this adorable 1940's cropped top and high-waist lounge pants in a Polynesian pattern. Just throw on some teak wood clog shoes and you will be the best dressed at the Tiki Lounge! Think Carmen Miranda!
In the mood for some hula dancing?! Try this 1960's grass skirt and bamboo hat on for size! All you need is a retro bikini and you are set for the beach!

Aloha!
