Mayone remembers that once the date for the wedding had been set, Esita went shopping on Beretania Street in Honolulu. She found a little bridal shop and walked in. When she came out she had found a dress to suggest to the bride-to-be. Mayone went to the shop the next day and tried on the dress. It fit perfectly! The shop also fitted her with a headpiece, veil and shoes to complete the bridal ensemble.
Mayone says that Cousin Tolo came to the shop and paid $120 for the dress, a discounted price due to a small water stain near the hem!
The lines of the this dress are very close to the dress purchased by Tolo for Mayone. |
And a fortune in those days!
