Your daughter steps into the classroom on Book Week morning dressed head-to-toe in this Girls Prairie Pioneer Costume - golden yellow calico dress, lace-trimmed bonnet, floral apron, the works. It's the full 1800s frontier look that works beautifully for historical fiction dress-up days, school colonial presentations, or any storybook character who lived on the prairie.

What's in the Box

Full-length yellow calico dress with white lace collar, puffed sleeves, and front placket detail
Wide-brimmed matching bonnet with chin ties
Pink floral half-apron with gathered waistband

Perfect for Book Week (historical fiction or pioneer chapter books), school dress-up day themes, or kindy character parades. The dress hits at ankle length for easy walking, and the bonnet stays put with long tie strings. Pair it with any flat shoes or boots your child already owns - the full skirt covers everything. Natural choice for Australian schools celebrating pioneer stories, colonial history lessons, or frontier-themed class projects.

Parent FAQs

What size should I order?

The bodice has a fitted cut through the chest and the sleeves have elastic cuffs that adjust to most arm widths. If your child is between sizes or has a longer torso, we'd suggest sizing up - the skirt length is generous and the apron helps define the waistline at any height. Returns are easy if the fit's not quite right.

Can she move around easily in this?

Absolutely. The skirt is full and gathered so there's plenty of room for sitting cross-legged on the classroom floor, running at lunch, or climbing playground equipment. The sleeves are puffed but the elastic cuffs keep them out of the way. The bonnet ties under the chin so it won't fly off during outdoor play.

Care: Cold hand wash, hang to dry, press with warm iron if needed before the big day.
