im going to a hawaiian fancy dress party at the beggining of august...

here is what im thinking of wearing.

the blue and green dreads in my latest show off with a big blue flower in my hair,

white bikini top with sky blue flowers on and a navy blue shirt tied at the front not buttoned

the only thing is i really cant afford to buy anything i dont even have a few quid, so i need to make a hoola style skirt.

i have an old pale blue bedsheet the same colour as my bikini i was going to cut it into strips and loop it over some elastic which would tie at one side with a flower brooch over it (imagaine a giant fall tied round my waist haha)

do you think that would look ok or would it be a bit too naff and home made???

from what i've read lots of hula now a days is done in cotton wrap skirts... so if you have a nice flowy skirt you could just wear that. i think the theme is still covered by the rest of your outfit

here's a diy link for you i just grabbed from google

http://www.realhula.com/hula-pau_skirt.html

if you are stuck on the whole raffia/grass thing i'm sure you can find a diy site for that too

Ya, most hula isn't done in the grass skirts anymore, unless by professional dancers for the tourist industry. When I was dancing hula we would wear fabric skirts which vary in length from above the knee to floor length.
Just look for some floral designs!

You were a Hula girl? How awesome!!!
I so want to see Hawaii one day, even if it's just to laugh at Dog the Bounty Hunter. He's so cheesy, but I love Beth <3
I think the heat may kill me though Sad

And also, how cool you did hula... Although it kinda reiterates the whole childhood idea that all the women in Hawaii are hula girls. Or it was my idea anyway:( Meh still so jealous!

Haha yeah I was a hula dancer. I did Hawaiian dance as well as Tahitian, which is where I get my poi experience from. I had no clue that people do it out of the Pacific.
Everyone seems to think that we dance hula but hardly any of us do.

I LOVE HER BREASTS TOO
