Oh Carolina

This Is the song our "Oh Carolina" dress is named after! Such a good song! It was written back in 1958  by John Folkes, and performed by his Trio, The Folkes Brothers. It's about his girlfriend who was actually named Noelena. Have a listen down here vvv

Oh Carolina, by The Folkes Brothers

Early reggae doesn't get the attention it deserves. We love early reggae because it's so rock and roll!!! That's why we named a dress after this classic!! Another great song you should check out is The Israelites, by Desmond Dekker. (The 1968 version is the best)

Rock a Hula Baby

If you're like us at Happy Yellow Dress, then you can't get enough of The King, Elvis Presley. Our high waisted circle skirt is named after a song performed by him, in "Blue Hawaii". That's the "Rock-a-Hula-Baby" skirt!  Have a listen below...

This movie came out in 1961, when Elvis was at his hottest! The movie co-stars Mrs. Potts herself, a young Angela Lansbury!! So much great fashion in this movie, but you'll have to check that out for yourself ;)
