PRODUCT DETAILS
What's in the Box
- Hooped all-in-one padded jumpsuit with integrated emerald jacket, light blue shirt bib, brown base, Wonka candy bar patches on jacket chest and pocket, and back zip closure
This Kids Augustus Gloop Costume brings Roald Dahl's chocolate-loving character to life in one clever all-in-one suit. Hooped padding around the torso creates Augustus's signature rotund silhouette — no extra stuffing needed, your kid just zips in and the shape holds.
The emerald green jacket front meets a light blue shirt bib and brown trousers, all printed or appliquéd onto stretchy soft fabric. Black satin bow tie sits permanently at the collar. Two golden Wonka bar patches — one at the chest, one at the pocket — seal the chocolate-factory identity. Back zip runs from shoulders to seat for easy on-and-off; elastic at wrists and ankles keeps the fit snug.
Perfect For
Book Week & Roald Dahl Day: A natural choice for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory parades, literary character dress-up days, or any Roald Dahl-themed school event.
School concerts & nativity plays: Works as a well-dressed greedy child character for any storyline needing comic relief or a food-obsessed role.
Birthday parties & World Book Day: Pairs perfectly with golden ticket props, oversized chocolate bars, or a group Willy Wonka theme with classmates dressed as other factory visitors.
How to Wear It
Pair with black school shoes or sneakers and add chocolate smudges around the mouth with face paint for full Augustus effect. Skip modern accessories — the costume's printed details do the talking.
Parent FAQs
Q: What size should I order?
Check the size chart image for chest and height measurements. The hooped padding adds width, so if your child is between sizes choose based on height rather than chest — the padding gives the shape, not a tight fit.
Q: Can they wear this over regular clothes, or is it too warm?
It's an all-in-one suit worn over underwear or a lightweight singlet. The padding holds warmth, so save the jumper underneath for outdoor winter events. Fine for indoor school assemblies.
Q: How do I clean this after Book Week?
Spot-clean printed patches with a damp cloth; handwash the whole suit in cold water if needed, then air-dry flat. The hooped structure holds up better when not machine-tumbled.
Q: Will this work for a school production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?
Absolutely. The costume is stage-ready — bright colors read well from the audience, and the padding gives Augustus's character shape without needing theatrical makeup or body suits underneath.
Care: Spot-clean or handwash cold; air-dry flat to preserve padding.
