Anthurium Hawaiian Quilt Women's Empire Tie Front Hawaiian Dress – 100% Rayon, Made in Hawaii

The anthurium — with its glossy, heart-shaped spathe and waxy, almost artificial-looking surface — is one of Hawaii's most commercially grown flowers, cultivated extensively on the Big Island and shipped worldwide. The Hawaiian quilt tradition, with its bold symmetrical cutwork patterns, is one of the islands' most treasured art forms. The Anthurium Hawaiian Quilt print brings these two distinctly Hawaiian things together: the anthurium rendered in the graphic, symmetrical language of the Hawaiian quilt, creating a print that is simultaneously botanical and cultural. Made in Hawaii, USA by RJC since 1953.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an anthurium and why is it significant in Hawaii?
The anthurium (Anthurium andraeanum) is a tropical flower with a distinctive waxy, heart-shaped spathe — the colorful part most people recognize — and a finger-like spadix. Introduced to Hawaii from Colombia in the 1880s, it became one of the Big Island's most important agricultural crops. Hawaii's anthurium farms, concentrated around Hilo, supply florists worldwide. The flower is a symbol of hospitality and is commonly used in Hawaiian floral arrangements and leis.

How does this differ from the Classic Hawaiian Quilt and Heritage Hawaiian IV dresses?
All three draw from the Hawaiian quilt tradition, but the Anthurium Hawaiian Quilt uses the anthurium as its central botanical motif — a specific flower rendered in the quilt's symmetrical cutwork style. The Classic Hawaiian Quilt is the most faithful to traditional quilt patterns. The Heritage Hawaiian IV takes a more contemporary approach. The Anthurium version is the most botanically specific of the three.

Does this dress run true to size?
The Regular Fit runs small on top for busty figures. If you have a fuller bust, consider sizing up one size for a more comfortable fit through the chest.

Is this made in Hawaii?
Yes! Made in Hawaii, USA by RJC (Robert J. Clancey), crafting authentic Hawaiian clothing since 1953.
