At Miss Ayana Rose, every dress tells a story-not just of childhood memories and heirloom clothing, but of the incredible women who bring each piece to life. We are proudly a 100% female-run small business, dedicated to creating handmade birthday outfits, smocked dresses, boys' shirts, overalls and heirloom-quality clothing for children.
From Melbourne to Colombo, our brand is built on women supporting women. Every Miss Ayana Rose outfit is lovingly handmade by female artisans and seamstresses, combining skill, experience, and tradition with a commitment to sustainability and empowerment.
We are a small business run entirely by women.
We are a women-led small business brand built by women, for women. From design to dressmaking, customer care to management, our team is 100% female-run. This is something we are incredibly proud of, and it shines through in the heart and authenticity of our work.
Our artisans in Melbourne, Australia and Colombo, Sri Lanka are talented female dressmakers with decades of experience. Many of them are older women who have stepped away from traditional employment but still hold invaluable knowledge and skill. By collaborating with them, we provide meaningful work that brings financial freedom, mental wellbeing, and flexibility allowing women to balance family life while pursuing their craft.
Having purposeful, creative work supports women’s mental health and restores confidence. It provides independence and allows them to contribute to their households with pride. Every handmade dress is more than a garment; it’s a step toward empowering women’s lives.
Whether it’s a first birthday dress, a keepsake outfit for a christening, or a timeless boys’ shirt for family photos, every Miss Ayana Rose design is carefully handmade to create memories that last. Our customers often save these outfits for siblings, tuck them away in keepsake boxes, or pass them down to the next generation, making them true heirloom pieces.
Unlike mass-produced birthday clothes from fast fashion retailers, our pieces are sustainable, hand-sewn, and designed to be cherished, not discarded.
We believe in fair pay for all our artisans. Each purchase supports women with a steady income stream, helping them achieve financial independence while keeping traditional craftsmanship alive.
By choosing Miss Ayana Rose, you’re not just investing in a dress-you’re supporting women entrepreneurs, female artisans, and a women-led small business brand that values people over profit.
As a brand rooted in sustainable children’s fashion, we take care to produce in small batches, minimise waste, and use every measure of fabric. We encourage families to purchase slightly larger sizes so each outfit can be worn longer, ensuring our pieces are loved for years to come.
This slow, thoughtful approach reflects our values: sustainability, social responsibility, and creating handmade clothing with meaning.
