Orchidaceae is the scientific family name for orchids — the largest flowering plant family on Earth, with over 28,000 species.

For the woman who loves orchids deeply enough to wear their Latin name. Made in Hawaii, USA by RJC since 1953.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Orchidaceae mean?
Orchidaceae is the scientific family name for all orchids — derived from the Greek word orchis. It is the largest family of flowering plants on Earth, with over 28,000 accepted species and more than 100,000 hybrids. Orchids grow on every continent except Antarctica and have adapted to an extraordinary range of habitats, from tropical rainforests to arctic tundra.

Why are orchids so important in Hawaii?
Hawaii is one of the world's leading orchid-growing regions. The warm, humid climate — particularly on the Big Island's Hilo side — is ideal for orchid cultivation. Dendrobium orchids are the most commonly used flower in Hawaiian leis, and Hawaii's orchid farms export millions of blooms annually. The orchid is deeply woven into Hawaiian floral culture.

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.
