‘EofW’ available Vintage Mihitabel 1960’s tie dye dress✨ DM to inquire
Here’s the story 🌹
This is a truly one-of-a-kind dress — hand-dyed and handmade in the 1960s by Carolyn Lee at her legendary Sunset Boulevard custom shop, Mihitabel. Known as “LA’s Queen of Tie-Dye”. Carolyn created wearable art that captivated the era’s most iconic musicians. She never repeated a piece always making one of a kind. This particular dress features a large eye at the hem, two large mandalas, edge rimmed yoke like patterns, winged V’s and stars -which are a distinctive and playful motif she incorporated into many of her designs. - look through slides to see some polaroids of her from the 60’s and 70’s in similar dresses she made courtesy of
Carolyn was a coveted tailor for artists such as The Eagles, Jim Croce, America, Bread, The Beach Boys, John Denver, Three Dog Night, and Sweetwater’s Nancy Nevins and Alex Del Zoppo — who later became Carolyn’s husband. Also her dyes are notorious for grillcloths used by bands like NRPS and The Dead.
The shop opened in the 1960’s and closed in the early 1970s due to a family illness. These rare garments have been carefully stored since then -and is in amazing condition.
