A B O U T

 

An extraordinary 1950s strapless evening dress by Pauline Lake, designed exclusively for the legendary Royal Hawaiian Hotel in Honolulu. Crafted from luminous metallic gold and tangerine silk organza from India, the gown is richly adorned with handwoven floral embroidery in jewel tones—fuchsia, sapphire, emerald, and violet—creating a painterly garden effect that glimmers with movement.

The fitted bodice is trimmed with metallic braid along the neckline, adding definition and a touch of glamour. The full skirt is box-pleated for dramatic volume, revealing layers of airy silk that capture the light beautifully. A narrow, embroidered waistband emphasizes the nipped waistline, balancing the structured bodice with the sweeping silhouette below. Fully lined in saffron taffeta. The interior bodice is boned for structure and support. Zips up the back with original metal zipper. In good wearable condition with signs of wear and age described in condition notes.

Label: Pauline Lake 

Pauline Lake was a prominent mid-century designer in Hawaii, known for creating sophisticated and elegant fashions for the elite clientele of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, often blending Western couture shapes with fabrics that celebrated the islands’ artistry and culture. This dress embodies the opulence of 1950s resort fashion and the allure of Waikiki’s “Pink Palace of the Pacific.”


Material:  silk organza outer, taffeta lining 

Condition: Good with signs of wear. Hidden breaks in the silk throughout the skirt, hard to see in the folds but worth mentioning. The fabric is inherently delicate and shows signs of wear. Minor stains in the lining, not seen when worn. Structurally very good and wears and presents beautifully. See close up pictures.

So flattering and comfy!
Fit Type: 31" Inseam, Size: Medium, Color: Deep Khaki
These are so cute and comfy, plus natural fiber. I got the brown and I’m coming back for the khaki. Love! *I’m 5’8” 136 lbs, got the 31 inch size Medium. They were super big until washing/drying- still big but I think Small would be too small. They are a very flattering fit, especially with the cute back pockets.

HIGH waist, correct sizing, ok fabric...NOT SEE THRU!! Cool pants though!
Fit Type: 31" Inseam, Size: Medium, Color: Deep Khaki
If it's a few inches ABOVE my belly button, inseam is correct... but then MED is SUPER baggy in the butt (I have a small butt maybe?) WELL MADE! NOT see thru!! Fabric is kind of stiff, BUT because it's a linen blend, may be beneficial for less wrinkles? 😃 Probably improve if washed. Also tried the small, belly/butt area is better, but super high and a little tight on me. NO off gassing 👏👏👏 Super versatile (dress up or down) Good price.

70%linen, 30% cotton pants
Fit Type: 31" Inseam, Size: X-Large, Color: Khaki
Linen cotton blend, soft & not see through. I'm 5'4" & 157 lbs, ordered a XL size & they fit perfectly, just a but long. Took me 8-10 minutes to hem, & now they are my go-to summer pants! Elastic + drawstring waist & wide legs look very stylish. I'm very pleased, will probably order more in a different color. I love the natural linen color, but since I see fabric thickness will try in white since summers where I live are triple-digits. GREAT PANTS for the price!

These are so-so
Good fit (I’m 5’8”, 215 pounds, and got an XL), cool and light fabric. I wore them on a recent trip to Walt Disney World, and they held up pretty well. They do get wrinkled easily, though, and I was somewhat dismayed to find that the fabric pilled badly in the crotch area (see photo). This was after only one laundering and one vacation where I wore them maybe three days. 😒 I have a feeling that they won’t last for more than one summer season. I expected better for the money, honestly.

Read the size guide!
Fit Type: 31" Inseam, Size: Large, Color: Khaki
Got the light khaki Large. I am 5'7" and 180#'s. Loved the sturdy yet breathable material and the color. But too small. READ THE SIZE GUIDE! I didn't, and now I have to return and reorder. OK. Got the right size. Love 'em. Comfort and fit are great. Not crazy about having to line dry, but it's the price one pays for having natural fabrics.
