What's in the Box

Purple floral bell-sleeve dress with psychedelic print (peace signs, flowers, smiley faces)
Brown fringed waistcoat with long tassels
Matching fabric headband
Yellow peace sign medallion necklace

This Girls Hippie Costume brings the flower power era to life with a psychedelic purple dress covered in hot pink, yellow, orange and green peace signs, flowers and smiley faces. The bell sleeves flare at the cuffs just like the original 60s silhouette, and the brown fringed waistcoat adds movement when she twirls.

The fabric is lightweight and easy to move in — perfect for dancing at a disco party or running around the playground. The dress pulls on over the head with no fiddly buttons, the waistcoat drapes open at the front, and the headband keeps hair out of her face. The peace medallion on a cord necklace completes the retro look without any complicated styling.

Perfect For

60s & 70s Costume Days: A natural pick for decades-themed school events, retro disco parties, or any groovy celebration calling for flower child energy.

Book Week & History Projects: Works brilliantly for stories set in the hippie era, peace movement themes, or cultural history dress-up days at school.

Birthday Parties & Casual Dress-Up: Comfortable enough for hours of wear at costume parties, Halloween, or just playing dress-up at home with friends.

How to Wear It

Pair with brown sandals or fringe boots to keep the 60s vibe going. Hair looks great worn long and straight, or try a centre part with braids. Skip modern accessories — round sunglasses and a flower face-paint design are all you need.

Parent FAQs

What size should I order?

Check the size chart for chest and length measurements. The dress has a relaxed A-line fit, so if your child is between sizes and prefers a bit more room to move, size up.

Can she wear this over regular clothes?

The dress is designed to be worn on its own (or over a singlet if the classroom is cold). The waistcoat layers on top, so she can take it off if she gets warm during the day.

How do I wash this? Is the fabric durable?

Hand wash in cold water or gentle machine cycle, hang to dry. The lightweight polyester holds up well to active play and the print won't fade easily.

Is this suitable for outdoor events in warm weather?

Yes — the fabric is breathable and the waistcoat is optional, so she can skip it if it's a hot day and still have the full hippie look with the dress, headband and medallion.

Care: Hand wash cold or gentle machine cycle, hang dry. No bleach.
