A new chapter is unfolding, one that feels both familiar and deeply personal.

Before the pandemic, I began this journey under the name Bouton Rouge. It was my first love, a quiet dream shaped by my own experience as a petite woman searching for clothing that truly honoured my proportions.

When life shifted, I stepped into KS PACKER Design, a space where I could grow, refine my craft, and reconnect with the heart of why I design: to help petite women feel confident, elegant, and beautifully themselves.

Over the years, that purpose has only grown stronger.

And now, with so much clarity and intention, I’m returning to where it all began.

We are gently transitioning back to our original name: Bouton Rouge.
Bouton Rouge has always held the essence of what matters most to me - timeless femininity, individuality, and clothing crafted with care, precision, and deep respect for petite proportions.

The name is returning, but the values remain unchanged: considered design, personal service, and pieces created to truly fit both your frame and your sense of self.

Thank you for walking beside me through every season of this journey.

I’m so grateful you’re here, and I can’t wait to share what’s coming next.

Introducing Our Soft Launch Collection

Black - Amara Dress
A one‑shoulder midi dress designed for versatility, movement, and timeless wear. The removable multi‑colour sash can be styled in multiple ways, tie or draped over the shoulder, wrapped at the waist, or removed entirely for a clean, minimal silhouette. One piece, endless styling potential.

Cut on the bias with an A‑line shape that naturally flatters petite proportions, creating length and a soft, fluid drape. Fully lined for comfort, with no zippers for a smoother fit and a more sustainable construction.
Crafted from sustainably sourced, biodegradable 100% viscose that feels gentle on the skin and moves beautifully with you.
Made‑to‑Order Collection (Pre‑Order Only)
Available in NZ standard sizes 6–14.
Please refer to About Our Pre‑Order Process in our Highlights for full details.
Designed and made in Christchurch.

About Our Pre-Order Process 🌿

Our Pre‑Order (Made‑To‑Order) pieces are created especially for you. We begin crafting your garment only after your order is confirmed, which allows us to produce with intention rather than excess. Each piece takes around 4–8 weeks to be cut, sewn, and finished with care. This slower, thoughtful approach helps reduce waste, supports sustainable production, and ensures every garment is made with purpose. Because your piece is made uniquely for you, all Pre‑Order and custom garments are final sale unless faulty. We believe in honesty and transparency, and we’re committed to fair, thoughtful trade that respects both the craft and the customer ✨
