We just get back from the most amazing vacation in Hilo. We stayed at the Falls at Reed's Island, got married, visited all the local sites, and are missing it every day.

Now my question...I bought a pretty typical type of dress in the market...one size fits all, smocked back, cap sleeves, mid length. It's become my favorite outfit here with some leggings underneath and a sweater. It reminds me of the wonderful time we had on your beautiful island. I'm kicking myself that I didn't buy more. Are there any of the merchants from the market or the downtown stores who would be willing to ship to Texas? I can't seem to find any dresses on-line to buy but they were in all the stores in Hilo and I would love to buy a few.

I tried to attach a pic of one. Hope it is visible.

Let me know if you can help and thank you for the hospitality!

Or here is a poor pic of the front of mine. The back is smocked.

I work about 100 feet from the market, maybe I can help you. Send me a DM and we can chat.

Might want to get a copy of Hawaii Magazine. They have lots of clothes ads and you might find what you're looking for. Probably most ship. Good luck.

Hmm, well, an inexperienced Personal Shopper. That could be less than optimum. Maybe you could find out if the shops ship and if they have a website? Or get the shop's phone number to give to the OP? Might be easier than trying to find the right color and sizes?

Well, I was a little tongue in cheek on the last post, but I've successfully picked out plenty of sweet Aloha Shirts... can't be much harder than that!
