Piupiu Print Long Dress with Drawstring
The Piupiu Print Long Dress with Drawstring features our Piupiu print, a design that honours the strong history of tourism in Rotorua and celebrates the pioneering spirit of Te Arawa. Introduced just over 100 years ago, the piupiu has become a symbol of cultural performance and storytelling. Through this print, Adrienne Whitewood acknowledges Te Arawa as forward-thinking innovators who have shaped Māori business and tourism in Aotearoa. It carries the message “Kia mau ki tō ahurea Māori” — Hold on to your Māori culture, standing as a hopeful tribute to the continued flourishing of Rotorua’s tourism community.
Crafted from printed polyester chiffon, this long dress is light, flowing, and designed to move with ease. A drawstring positioned just under the bust allows the garment to be gently pulled in, creating flattering lines through the body while adding soft ties that wrap and drape beautifully.
