[ MAUKA ] : NOUN 1- In Hawaii, light and cool wind sweeping down from the mountain. 2- Twirling dress for aspiring dancer. Mauka is a timeless and elegant dress. With or without sleeves, it embraces all seasons. Its signature is that inverted box pleat below the front yoke. And above all, it twirls!
Level : 3/5 A video that details each step of the garment construction is available for free on "Rose des Vents Couture" YouTube channel.
Recommended fabrics: Mauka is suitable for many kinds of fabrics. A stiff fabric like brocade or jacquard adds body to the dress and makes it a pretty dress for special occasions! A more flowy fabric like flannel or poplin makes it a casual dress easier to wear on a daily basis.
