How to Measure your Hawaiian Dresses

We carry a variety of styles and sizing can vary from one designer to another. We provide this general guide to measurements and a conversion gadget from inches to centimeters and vice versa. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

How To Measure Womens Dresses

We recommend you measure a dress that you currently own and fit you comfortably. Place it on a flat surface and measure as shown on the sketch. Then compare them to our size chart for the size needed.

Shoulders: Measure from the inseam of the outer shoulder and/or your own shoulder to the other side.

Bust: Measure from the inseam of the underarm to the inseam on the other side and multiply by 2.

Waist: Measure from the waist area inseam to the other side and multiply by 2.

Hip: Measure from the Hip area inseam to the other side and multiply by 2.

Length: Measure from the back of the neck to the end of the dress. Full length dresses are 17-19 inches longer.

Note: Double the measured number to match with the measurement on our size chart (if applicable)

How to Measure your Hawaiian Shirt

Use a shirt that you currently own and that fit comfortably. Place it on a flat surface and measure as shown on the sketch. Then compare them to our size chart for the size needed. Please note that Hawaiian shirts should be worn loosely.

Shoulders: Measure from the inseam of the outer shoulder and/or your own shoulder to the other side.

Chest: Measure from the left inseam of the underarm of the shirt to the right inseam on the other side and multiply by 2.

Length: Measure from the back of the neck to the end of the shirt.

Note: Double the measured number to match with the measurement on our size chart (if applicable)

Additional Useful Information

Kid’s Hawaiian clothes (girls, boys, and toddlers) are measured the same way as adults. Please see above for details. All cotton clothes will shrink about an inch after washing and drying. Excessive drying will result in additional shrinkage. Feel free to contact us if you have further questions.
