Elizabeth Dreaver

Elizabeth Creilman Dreaver (née McHoul c. 1848 – 30 November 1934) was a pioneering milliner and draper in Dunedin, New Zealand.

[2][3] James's short-lived tailoring business had been destroyed by fire in 1865, and he subsequently opened a toy and fancy goods store.

[4] In 1885 Dreaver spent five months in Scotland for her "bad health", and on her return brought with her stock from London and Paris.

Other tenants included Hans Pauli, who purchased James Dreaver's fancy goods business and ran it until 1892.

[1] After the closure of Dreavers drapery, the buildings were occupied by the Bruce Shop (an outlet for Bruce Woollens), the Otago Sports Depot, a Queen Anne Chocolate (Ernest Adams) shop, Ace Alterations, Martins Art Furnishers, Don Kindley Real Estate, Brent Weatherall Jewellers and the $ n' Sense dollar store.
