PRODUCT DETAILS
What's in the Box
- White bib apron with waist ties
- Gathered mob cap with elasticized trim
This Kids Victorian Orphan Costume gives you the two essential pieces for Dickensian dress-up — a full-length white bib apron and matching mob cap. Pair with a simple brown or grey dress (not included) and you've got instant Victorian workhouse vibes for Book Week or school history projects.
The apron has wide shoulder straps that cross at the back, long waist ties that wrap around and bow, and a gathered detail at the front for authentic period shape. Mob cap features elasticized trim around the face opening so it stays put during classroom parades. Cotton-blend fabric has that matte natural-fiber look parents want for historical authenticity.
Perfect For
Book Week & Literature Days: A natural pick for Oliver Twist, A Christmas Carol, Little Dorrit, or any Victorian-era storybook character parade.
School History Projects: Colonial Australia reenactments, heritage days, Dickensian-themed events, or Year 4 history presentations on working-class children.
Themed Dress-Up Days: International Day (British historical figure), 100 Days of School (dress as a child from 100 years ago), or classic literature character days.
How to Wear It
Pair with a plain brown, grey, or navy long-sleeved dress and black Mary Jane shoes. Hair in two braids completes the orphan look. The apron goes on over the dress, ties at the back, and the mob cap sits snug with the elasticized edge holding it in place.
Parent FAQs
What else do I need to buy?
You'll need a plain brown or grey dress (long sleeves, ankle-length works best). The dress shown in the photos is not included — any simple solid-color dress from your child's wardrobe will do the job.
Will the mob cap fit different head sizes?
Yes — the elasticized trim around the face opening adjusts to fit most kids aged 7–12 years comfortably. It stays in place without slipping during school events.
Can I wash this before Book Week?
Yes — hand wash or gentle machine cycle in cold water, line dry. The cotton-blend fabric handles a wash well, just avoid bleach to keep the white looking fresh.
Is this suitable for a Victorian street urchin costume?
Absolutely — it's the classic orphan/workhouse/peasant girl look straight out of Victorian London. Works for any Dickens character, colonial Australia settler, or 19th-century working-class child costume.
Care: Hand wash cold, line dry, iron on low if needed.
