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.

Fits like a glove, looks like a million!
Size: Small, Color: Purple
Bought this as a gift for him and very impressed. Looks like a million dollars, fit true to size, looks tailored not cheap. Fabric is quality, stitching is done well and the pants have a nice hidden elastic extender that helps if he goes up or down a few pounds. Very impressed!

It was the perfect suit for our big day!
Size: X-Small, Color: Purple, Size: X-Small, Color: Purple
Purple size xs. He's 5'9" 145-150lbs. Very impressed with this suit. The color and pattern is awesome. The fit was good. I would say this suit runs large. Usually he wears a Medium in everything but ordered an XS and it fit very well. The pants were long we had to get those hemmed. There was a few stray strings by the end of the night in areas of the suit. But overall good quality. And for a great price.

We were excited and I wanted to like it but...
Size: X-Small, Color: Black, Size: X-Small, Color: Black
We ordered this for Prom and it was supposed to be a size small, which was available for Prime ordering, but had to settle for xsmall. The pants, fortunately fit well and just need to be hemmed, the vest is great and the jacket is snug. My son has broad shoulders and I was hesitant to buy the xsmall, but it does fit just right. The only thing he would need to do is unbutton the jacket while he is dancing and maybe take it off while seated and eating dinner before prom. The material is surprisingly nice and has weight to it. I was relieved it isn't flimsy. The overall look on my son is smooth and we love the pattern and the material has shine to it. I was not happy that right out of the package, the button to the jacket could potentially fall off during because it doesn't look securely sewed in. The side of the right side of the jacket has thread already coming apart. And I found a little snag in a different location. I'm really not happy about that. I posted photos so you can see what I mean. We were excited about this suit, but it's going back. The company needs to do better with quality control.
