CURRENT UPDATE: Oh for a magic wand! Rosie here :-) Everything is moving along, but taking longer than it did before due to some supply chain interruptions. For the time-being and foreseeable future, a window of 8 business days is needed to safely procure materials and make and send your lovely orders. I’m very grateful for the availability of beautiful materials, and to be in a position to continue stitching away.

About Us - Dear Lil' Devas

Hello, I'm Rosie Connor. My intention is for Dear Lil' Devas to spread as much joy as possible (good vibes) through the use of beautiful fabrics, and lovely COMFORTABLE clothing. 


As a small company by design, we are blessed to maintain a benevolent and interactive design and sewing environment. Because we work on our items in an unhurried, mindful atmosphere, where laughter is much more important than speed, a lot of good vibes are generated. Those good vibes infuse the final products, and ultimately transfer to you. 


Back in 2004, despite being home with a new baby, I could not resist the challenge of trying to make what my friend and Thai Yoga Massage Instructor Paula called "dream pants". Having come from Europe and practised yoga there, Paula longed for loose-fitting, breathable yet non-constricting yoga pants. After a year of perfecting the design and finding the special 100% cotton, the word began to spread. These were the type of pants the yoga industry has been waiting for – pants that let your body breathe!


After making pairs for friends and family, things started to mushroom. We received overwhelming appreciation for our pants at yoga events and studios. Serious yogis and yoginis were returning for their second and third pair! Today we can’t believe that we get to share our clothing with people from all around the world.

"Leave it to yoga mommy designer 
Rosie Connor to create 
the ultimate yoga pant. 
Here's the best part without a stitch of Lycra! 
Dear Lil' Devas' loose-fitting and breathable, 
100 per cent "dream pants" are the coolest thing to hit Toronto's namaste set. Try a pair. You'll never stretch in stretch again."

Local Mom Fills Niche With Loose-fitting Yoga Pants

November 2004 Press Release

Despite being home after a new baby, Toronto-area designer Rosie Connor could not resist the challenge of trying to make what her friend and Thai Yoga Massage Instructor Paula called "dream pants". Having come from Europe and having practised yoga there, Paula longed for loose-fitting, breathable yet non-constricting yoga pants. After a year of perfecting and finding the special 100% cotton, the word began to spread. These were the type of pants the yoga industry has been waiting for - pants that let your body breathe!

The traditional style yoga pants come in two different styles and five colours. A distinctive unisex pant that is versatile, contouring and has a trademark bottom which allows your body to move without any constrictions. The cotton is quick drying and the pants can become very compact, conducive to the fast-paced lives that people live today. "It started with just perfecting the one pair for my friend, then her husband, and has mushroomed from there", said Connor who will be presenting two new lines including children's and maternity in an array of colours at the Yoga Show November 19th to 21st at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.

Connor's previous work included a line of home spa products featured in Bloomingdales in the U.S., and a line of children's clothing that was available at Mountain Equipment Co-op, Kiddie Cobbler Stores, and independent boutiques throughout Canada.

Yoga enthusiast Karen Bourdos has joined Rosie in her quest to get the word out about these unique pants. This spring they went on sale in Toronto at the Yoga Sanctuary and yoga studios throughout the GTA. Dear Lil' Devas took part in the Yoga Show this year at the Metro Toronto Covention Centre and received an overwhelming appreciation for our pants from the people that attended. Serious yogis and yoginis were returning for their second and third pair. We are looking forward to introducing some beautiful colours for spring/summer.
