Vintage Hawaiian Dress Re-do

I found this dress at the Salvation Army for a couple bucks. It's definitely vintage (thick polyester lovin'!) - and the tag clearly states "Honolulu, Hawaii". It's not exactly Hawaiian in the sense that I think of now, but isn't it a little crazy and really great? And, for the record, quite comfy too.

I decided that the length was a little unflattering, so I altered it above the knee. Unfortunately, even after measuring twice, I still altered it a little too short for my long lady legs. Hopefully a shorter gal will enjoy this from my Etsy shop (opening soon!).

What do you think? Isn't it fun?
