This Hawaiian dress was handcrafted in Hawaii, USA and made of the finest quality domestic and imported fabrics. It was sewn by seamstresses with loving care and Aloha to provide the wearer with the look and feel of Island Paradise. This classic Hawaiian style requires nothing less than perfectly woven fabrics, reinforced at all stress areas. When you wear our Hawaiian dresses, you will feel the luxury and comfort that is world-renowned as a Hawaiian tradition. This sarong dress features a sarong panel sewn into the side seam that crosses the dress and ties on the side (no peakaboo opening to worry about) and a back zipper. Please refer to the size chart provided for your size. The chest measurement is taken by laying the dress flat and measuring from seam to seam (across the chest) and doubling that figure. The waist measurement is measured from seam to seam (level with sarong tie) and doubling that figure. The hips measurement is taken by measuring the fullest part of the dress (between the waist and the bottom hem) from seam to seam and doubling that figure. The length is measured from top of shoulder to bottom of hem. Please take a well-fitting dress you own, measure it in the same manner and compare to the size chart for a perfect fit.
