Gold floral dress with sweetheart neckline
Dutch immigrants, Harm and Rosemarie Muller, settled in Titirangi in 1952. Rosemarie worked as a dressmaker. To accomodate her growing clientele, the Mullers excavated the slope beneath their home to create a ground floor. Incorporating a workroom and a showroom, the new space allowed Rosemarie, at least physically, to separate work and family.
