Your child walks into Book Week morning dressed as a desert camel — chocolate brown tutu dress, a padded hump strapped to their back, and a plush camel headband with sculpted face and upright ears. The crochet bodice fits snugly, the layered tulle skirt bounces with every step, and the faux fur accents on the bodice and hump give that textured camel-coat look.

Perfect for Book Week desert animal stories, school animal parades, nativity plays (the Wise Men's camels), and zoo-themed class days. Works brilliantly for any Book Week story set in the desert or featuring Australian wildlife adventures.

Parent FAQs

What size should I order?

The bodice is a crochet tube-top style with ribbon shoulder ties, so it adjusts a little at the chest and shoulders. If your child is between sizes, size up — the tulle skirt is forgiving, and you want the bodice to sit comfortably without digging in. The hump straps are ribbon loops that adjust for different torso lengths.

Can they wear this over regular clothes?

The dress is designed to go over a singlet or t-shirt if the classroom is cold, but most kids wear it directly over brown leggings or tights. Pair with brown boots or runners — those aren't included but finish the desert animal look.

Care: Spot clean the hump and headband. Hand wash the dress in cold water, lay flat to dry — tulle holds its shape best when not tumble dried.
