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

The lei is Hawaii's most universal symbol of aloha — a garland of flowers given in greeting, celebration, and farewell, woven by hand from plumeria, orchids, pikake, or maile. The Paradise Lei print translates that garland tradition onto fabric: flowers arranged in the flowing, repeating rhythm of a strung lei, cascading across the dress in warm tropical hues. Wearing it feels like being draped in aloha. Made in Hawaii, USA by RJC since 1953.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cultural significance of the Hawaiian lei?
The lei is one of Hawaii's most important cultural traditions, with roots in ancient Polynesian practice. Leis are given to mark arrivals, departures, graduations, weddings, and celebrations — each flower carrying its own meaning. Pikake (jasmine) represents love and romance. Maile, a native vine, is used for sacred ceremonies. Plumeria is the most common lei flower. The tradition of greeting visitors with a lei is a genuine expression of aloha — not a tourist gimmick.

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.
