A white lavalava kolose with a thick crocheted border along the bottom in a two toned pink to white thread. A lavalava kolose like this one is worn by woman under a dress for church and is part of a church outfit that is comprised of # 8 & 9. It is common for the dress to be slightly see-though so people can see the lavalava kolose underneath. Sometimes, they are worn so the fele (crocheted border) falls slightly lower than the outer dress so people can see the detail of the artist’s kolose.
