Makaleka Hawaiian Souvenir Dolls : Reflections of Historical Hawaiian Dress Desi

By Sandy Hargrove

Hula skirts and Mu'u Mu'us are often what tourists expect to find ladies wearing in Hawaii. Hawaiian Makaleka Souvenir Dolls were made by Margaret (Makaleka) Hind Clarke Bennett (a descendant of both Hawaiian and European cultures) to show the beauty and variety of dress styles actually worn by Hawaiian women during the latter part of the 20th Century. This book is not only a definitive collector's guide for these dolls, but is also a historical narrative of Hawaii and its development of ethnic costumes through the merging of cultures.
