Island inspired looks, main character energy.
Let customers speak for us
More of these dresses would be appreciated. Flounce style. The flounce placement is perfect for both broad shoulders and standard. Its placement is complementing. Please dont change that. This retailer nailed it.
1. Color schemes of the following would be nice (hunter green, baby pinks, palaka reds, royal blues, purples). Expensive colors but I have faith in 2b Desired. Very creative. It gives just enough without adding to much. The patterns are balanced.
2. Material is perfect. Please stick to this supplier. P E R F E C T
3. Size scale is perfect. 3x sizing for dresses is perfect to scale
4. More swimwear available in 4x in store would be great for monokini styles. Visited Ka Makana Alii. Not much swimwear available in 4x at the time. The 3x sizes seemed more like a 1x. I know this is a challenge. By the way customer service at Ka Makana Alii store is absolutely amazing. Great energy. Authentic experience. Not pushy and just enough engagement. CLEAN STORE. Perfect layout. Its a heavy hitter. Excellent team.
5. Long sleeve monokini for plus sizes 3x-4x would be great. Fern style patterns are found everywhere. Quilt patterns or another simple pattern would be great. Its the color scheme Im looking for. Swimwear is one of those items a plus size body may have to go one size up anyway. The pricing is fair (expensive) but fair due to this being boutique quality apparel. I am willing to pay for something I dont have to worry about ripping at the seams.
As for the dress, this is one of the best retailers that understands FABRICS, PATTERNS, COLOR SCHEMES. I appreciate that the colors complement each other and are not harsh in contrast. I repeat NOT HARSH IN CONTRAST. This designer has a team that is really trying to perfect plus size fashion sizing. 2bDesired is onto something. Getting a size 20/22 sizing model would be great to give live feedback. I would do it for free. Im quite sure many would.
I really wish this retailer a continued success. Plus size fashion is such an untapped market in Hawaii. Why? I have no idea. Standard sizes will always be in demand. Plus sizes will always be a need $$$.
MAHALO! We got it on time for Keiki Hula. They fit perfectly.
Fits perfectly & comfortable. Most tops slip off when swimming but Kona top definitely holds its place.
My baby cannot fit this yet but secured it for a future family shoot! I love it!
Love this family matchy set! The black is the best out of all the colors!
especially when my ohana all matching. we had so many compliments. we all enjoyed wearing the print.
