The Kauri Dress takes its inspiration from the towering Kauri forests in northern New Zealand. From tourism to how we build our homes, you’ll find kauri woven into our everyday lives.

We are confident that your child will love wearing this timeless pattern throughout the seasons and that it will become a staple in her wardrobe.

The button bodice tends to bring back a traditional design with vintage appeal and offers plenty of room for customization and your own unique sense of style.

You'll learn how to use our internal facing pattern and technique when making this dress, which produces a polished, professional finish with options to bind the facings (we adore the inside of clothing just as much as the outside!)

The Kauri Dress is perfect for playing in since it has a casual fit, a gathered waist, and pockets for finding hidden treasure. In linen or cotton, it is casual and appears quite earthy. A brand-new party dress can be created by adding sateen or velvet to an existing garment.

With 3 different sleeve length options, the Kauri Garment is the ideal dress for every season.

Along with its intelligent structure and expert finishes, our sewers adore this pattern's clear and uncomplicated lines.
