Watercolor Tropics Women's Empire Tie Front Hawaiian Dress (Regular Fit)
Watercolor Tropics Women's Empire Tie Front Hawaiian Dress – 100% Rayon, Made in Hawaii
Most Hawaiian prints are bold and graphic — this one is painterly. The Watercolor Tropics print renders tropical flowers and foliage in soft, bleeding watercolor washes that give the dress an artistic, gallery-worthy quality. Colors bleed into each other at the edges, blooms appear to float rather than sit flat, and the overall effect is more impressionist painting than traditional aloha print. It's the dress for the woman who loves Hawaiian style but wants something that feels like wearable art. Made in Hawaii, USA by RJC since 1953.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does this differ from the Oriental Watercolor dress?
The Watercolor Tropics uses Hawaiian tropical flora — hibiscus, plumeria, and island foliage — rendered in a watercolor style. The Oriental Watercolor draws from Asian botanical art traditions with different flora and a more structured, Eastern-influenced composition. Both are painterly, but the subject matter and cultural inspiration are distinct.
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.
