Aloha Everyone,

Does anyone know where I can buy a satin holoku? :confused: Used or new, it doesn't matter to me, I just love that style. I'm a healthy girl and wear a size 14.
Please help me.

Well, when I was in Intermediate School...I needed a Purple Satin Holoku to represent the island of Kauai as their Princess. My parents had to purchase the Fabric, hire a Dressmaker to sew the Holoku to fit perfictly to my body.

That was many moons ago. :o

(sigh)

Today, is Modern! :D

Lucky YOU!

Check the Muumuu Factories around town.
Put in Ad's in our Local Newspapers and
da other little ones too. Sometimes, Thrift Shoppes and
even at the Swap Meets you will find someone's old but
still beautiful Holoku for SALE!

Good Luck!

Auntie Alyn

btw: If all else fails...learn how to sew. :p

Aloha Auntie,

Thanks for your response. Your Holoku must have been gorgeous! Especially in the purple satin.

I've been checking the thrift shops, papers, ebay and internet. No Luck yet.

With the Merrie Monarch happening, I would think there would be something for sale out there.

Maybe I'll have to find a dressmaker too.

I'm still hoping for someone out there to read my post and find me a seller!

Thanks again Auntie.

If you don't find a holoku, have one custom made. I recommend this pattern. (http://www.hulasource.com/hollonfitdre.html)
