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

It's the dress for the woman who wants to wear a piece of Hawaiian history. Made in Hawaii, USA by RJC since 1953.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Hawaiian quilt and why is it significant?
Hawaiian quilts are a unique art form that developed in the 19th century when American missionaries introduced quilting to Hawaii. Hawaiian women adapted the craft using bold, symmetrical designs cut from a single piece of fabric — often inspired by native plants like breadfruit, hibiscus, and ferns. Each quilt pattern carries cultural meaning and is considered a treasured heirloom.

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.
