Beautiful 1960’s gown by Alice Polynesian Fashions,
in cotton barkcloth.
Among the most flattering aloha dress designs:
In the front looks like a cap sleeve sheath maxi with a long front center slit, and flattering gathered bust finished with a knot accent.

The print is a bold vibrant abstract floral in jewel tones, with pops of green, and my favorite part is the squiggly splatterings of yellow and black.

Interior springy bralike elastic clasp nips the empire waist from the back story:
A high volume iconic (“waterfall”) Watteau train, cascading below an alluring low scooped back.

The white background would really pop in black light shenanigans…

Fits up to approx Large.
Measurements:
Approx 3840” chest when interior elastic is buckled all the way in; and has some extra size fluidity from the open back waterfall design.
Underbust seam is a subtle semicircle:
10” from outer shoulder seam to outer empire waist seam;
12” from inner shoulder seam to center empire waist seam where bow accent is located.
55. 5” long from shoulder seam;
2” hem allowance;
Hips open;
13” arm holes;
5. 5” cap sleeves.
17” front slit.

Exceptional condition with paper care tag still intact.

This dress has some weight to it, from the generous amount of cotton barkcloth that creates the dramatic waterfall back structure,
