PRODUCT DETAILS
What's in the Box
- Golden brown velvet dress with attached faux fur mane collar
- Lion tail with shaggy fur tip (sewn into back waist)
- Velvet ears headband
This Kids Lion Costume turns your child into a friendly jungle hero with a soft golden velvet dress, shaggy faux fur mane, and attached tail. The dress sits just above the knee with a gathered elasticated waist for easy movement, back zip for quick on-off, and long sleeves finished with fur cuffs.
The mane is the standout feature — a circle of soft tawny faux fur stitched around the neckline that frames the face like a storybook lion. Pair it with the padded velvet ears headband and attached tail, and your kid's ready to roar without any fuss or extra layers.
Perfect For
Book Week & Animal-Themed Literature Days: A natural fit for The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, classic Aesop fables, or any jungle storybook parade — pairs beautifully with animal costume themes at school.
School Concerts & Nativity Plays: Works as a lion in The Lion King Jr., jungle play, or Noah's Ark assembly — the velvet holds up under stage lights and the mane stays put during performances.
Zoo Visits & Jungle Parties: Ideal for safari-themed birthday parties, zoo excursions, or casual animal dress-up at home — comfortable enough for all-day wear and easy play.
How to Wear It
Pair with brown ankle boots and nude or tan tights (child's own) for a complete look. Skip necklaces or scarves — the mane is the statement piece and sits best against bare skin or a simple undershirt.
Parent FAQs
Q: What size should I order for my 6-year-old?
Check the size chart image for chest and length measurements. The elasticated waist gives a little flex, but if your child is between sizes we'd recommend sizing up for comfort and longevity.
Q: Can she wear this over regular clothes, or does it need a layer underneath?
The dress works both ways — velvet sits comfortably against skin, or layer a long-sleeve tee underneath if the classroom is cold. The mane collar sits flat either way.
Q: How do I clean the fur mane and tail?
Spot-clean faux fur with a damp cloth and mild detergent; hand-wash the dress in cold water and air-dry flat. Avoid the dryer — velvet can lose its sheen with heat.
Q: Is this suitable for Book Week animal costume day?
Absolutely. Lions appear in dozens of children's books — from Narnia to Aesop to modern picture books. It's a recognisable, comfortable, ready-to-go option for school dress-up days.
Care: Hand-wash cold, air-dry flat; spot-clean fur trim only.
