“I think we want them to go away with a feeling that, they experience the monarchy era,” said Sally Ishigawa, volunteer docent at Iolani Palace. “They experience the grandure, the beautiful fashion, the elegant uniforms that we have here, and the special story especially of our alii. They can take away a sense of pride.”
The Fashion Fit for Royalty Tour is available Wednesdays at 2:30 p.m. It costs $69.95 for adults, and $44. 95 for children ages 5 to 12.
