PRODUCT DETAILS
What's in the Box
- Light blue gingham dress with mock white shirt front and red ribbon bows
- Detachable white puff sleeves with velcro closure
- Red sparkly shoe covers (slip over regular shoes)
This Kids Dorothy Wizard of Oz Costume captures the 1939 classic film's most recognisable look — light blue gingham bodice with a mock white blouse, full gathered skirt trimmed in red ric-rac, and those iconic sparkly red shoe covers that slip right over your child's everyday sneakers or school shoes.
The dress sits at knee-length with a petticoat underlayer that gives the skirt gentle volume without being over-the-top. Detachable puff sleeves attach with velcro at the back, making them easy to adjust or remove if the classroom heats up. Red satin ribbons sit permanently stitched at the waist, and the bodice features sewn-on mock buttons that complete the 1930s storybook feel. Comfortable enough for a full day of wear — Book Week parade to afternoon library session.
Perfect For
Book Week & Storybook Character Days: A natural pick for L. Frank Baum's classic tale, or any "over the rainbow" themed school event — teachers know Dorothy the moment she walks in.
School Productions & Drama Class: The Wizard of Oz is a perennial favourite for primary school plays and end-of-year performances — this costume is stage-ready with no sewing required.
Movie-Themed Parties & Halloween: Classic film character parties, vintage Hollywood dress-up, or traditional Halloween with a storybook twist — Dorothy is timeless.
How to Wear It
Slip the shoe covers over any closed-toe shoes (sneakers work great). Pair with white ankle socks and auburn plaits if your child's hair is long enough, or leave hair natural — the gingham and red ribbons are instantly recognisable either way. Skip modern accessories; keep it simple and let the costume shine.
Parent FAQs
Q: What size should I order?
Refer to the size chart image — measure your child's chest and height. The dress runs true to size with a bit of give in the gathered skirt. If she's between sizes, size up for longer wear.
Q: Can she wear this over regular clothes?
The dress is designed to be worn over underwear or a singlet — it's a full costume dress, not a layer piece. The mock white shirt is already sewn in, so no need for anything underneath except on cold days.
Q: Are the shoe covers secure enough for outdoor wear?
They're designed to slip over shoes for costume events and indoor use. Fine for a Book Week parade around the school oval, but if you're planning extended outdoor play, they may shift — better suited to classroom and staged events.
Q: Is the wig included?
No. The wig shown in photos is a styling prop. The costume includes the dress, sleeves, and shoe covers only. Most kids wear their own hair in plaits or natural.
Care: Hand wash cold, hang dry. Spot-clean shoe covers if needed.
