NFS MUSEUM ARCHIVES VINTAGE MIHITABEL DRESS

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. This particular piece features her signature alphabet tie-dye lettering, a distinctive and playful motif she incorporated into many of her designs.

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.

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 away ever since by Zoppo. Now, for the first time in decades, you have the opportunity to own an original one of a kind- hand dyed and hand sewn Mihitabel piece.
