Ideal for Nation Days, and primary school kapa haka groups.

The Maori Girls Kapa Haka costume is sized:
Small (age 2-4, up to approx 24" or 62cm chest and waist)
Medium (age 4-6, up to approx 27" or 68cm chest and waist)
Large (age 6-8, up to approx 28" or 72cm chest and waist)
XL (age 8-10, up to approx 30" or 76cm chest and waist)
2XL (age 12-14 or Womens size 10, up to approx 34" or 84cm chest).  

The set includes a headband, a black bodice and attached black skirt ( which has adjustable velcro closure at the back and a stretch-seam waist), and the overlaid mock piupiu skirt, which is cotton knit strips on an adjustable black elastic band.

The total effect is stunning.  

The costume design was derived from the costume worn by the Otatara Cultural Club of Taradale, New Zealand.  The design depicts New Zealand national bird, the Kiwi, which is surrounded by the Niho-Taniwha pattern ( dragons teeth) and the Three Baskets of Knowledge.  This design was the work of three people, namely Ellen Coulter, Ngaupoko Batt, and Baden Batt.  Only Baden is still alive, and he gives his unreserved consent to the costume and the Maori motifs used on them.

Note to schools:  As these costumes are always in high demand, we cannot afford to have any out on approval.  If you would like a sample, please order and pay for the costume(s) you require. Should you decide they are not what you require, we are very happy to receive the costume back (in original condition) for a full refund of the purchase price (excluding shipping).  Many schools pay by credit card so the transaction is easy to do, and a refund is easy too.  Having said that, to date we haven't had a school decide against the costume once they see it.  :-)

Here's what one customer had to say about their kapa haka costume:
"Lesley, I wanted to let you know we received the costume today along with the little bag of goodies.  Shelbee was so thrilled at her costume!  Thank you for your follow up and help with this.  Best regards, Sarah G, USA"
