What beautiful costumes. How do you get them to stcik out so far?

[mahuwahine4u]

love the hipbands.........having karen of island costumes make me one....she is great

[Spittingsloth]

exactly like the one the dancers have?

[caligirlinhawaii]

hmmm, i hope it's not exactly like ours. We made each made our own costumes and our Ra'atira and costume designer, Aunty Wanda are the designers of this one of a kind hip band.

[mahuwahine4u]

karen of island costumes will make anything.............I sent this video and she said she can do it.........

[caligirlinhawaii]

we are flattered that you want one just like it, but wish more people would come up with their own designs rather than make replicas.

[lilskitzogrl]

i also love and admire these amazing hip heis, but caligirlinhawaii is right, maybe you should try designing your own rather than try to have a distinct costume replicated that was made for a specific dance and for a specific dance group.

who knows, your design may be something you like even more :)

[Kainani0]

all i have to say is WOW that is really good :D

[MasterSua]

The costumes are BANAZA!!! i have never seen skirts like that for the girls. truly genius. It looks like hard work.

[naaomiiix333]

costumes are beauiful.

TE VAI represent all the way though(:

[dancebaby805]

i like it.

but i would use hip-bealts that stick out so far..because if one of the girls mess up it's easier the spot out.

but they are really beautiful.

i dance for Tina's Ports of Paradise.

[AlohaAustinJae]

WoW! Seriously! I saw this video before and I actually thought your costumes were ugly because HATE it when yellow and white are together, but I never REALLY paid attention to them! TELL ME HOW TO! WHAT'S THE SECRET!?!:);):0

[rchs4me]

[caligirlinhawaii]

we used lauhala and mori. yes, it definitely took some time to make it.  thanks for the comments. keep up the passion for tahitian dance!
