Most of our Hawaiian dresses and shirts are still made in Hawaii much as they were decades ago. Since most clothing in the US is manufactured overseas, most of us never get to go into a factory to see how stuff is made. Lucky for us, we get to see this process every week. The process can be broken down into a few key steps.
1. The manufacturer must choose what prints and colors for the production run.
2. Hundreds of layers of fabric are rolled out onto a cutting table.
3. Dress or shirt parts are cut out with an electric knife.
4. These parts are transported to contractors to sew into a completed dress or shirt.
5. Each shirt and dress must then be ironed by hand as efficiently as possible.
6. The shirts and dresses are now ready for shipment to various retailers around the world.

Mahalo!
