What's in the Box

Mad Hatter top hat with orange curls

This Kids Mad Hatter Top Hat with Orange Wig turns Book Week morning into a one-piece solution — plonk it on and you're instantly the tea party's most eccentric guest. Oversized teal brocade crown glitters with metallic gold and silver baroque scrolls, studded with jewel-tone sequins in red, green, purple, and blue.

The orange curly wig is sewn in beneath the brim, so no separate wig cap or bobby pins needed. Hair falls naturally to shoulder length when worn. Bright orange satin ribbon wraps the base in a nod to the classic Mad Hatter silhouette. Black felt brim gives the whole piece structure and sits comfortably over most head sizes.

Perfect For

Book Week & Literature Days: A natural pick for Alice in Wonderland parades, Lewis Carroll character days, or any storybook tea party theme at school.

School Dress-Up Events: Works for World Book Day, kindy character parades, or classroom story time when you're reading *Alice's Adventures* or *Through the Looking-Glass*.

Theatrical Productions & Fancy Dress: Perfect for school plays, Alice-themed birthday parties, or any Mad Hatter costume party where you want the look done in seconds.

How to Wear It

Pair with a Victorian waistcoat, bow tie, and mismatched buttons for full Mad Hatter energy. Black trousers or dark jeans work underneath. Skip modern accessories — this hat does the heavy lifting on its own.

Parent FAQs

What size head does this fit?

One size fits most kids and teens. The interior band has a bit of give, and because it sits high on the head (classic top hat style), it works over various hair volumes.

Can they wear this over their own hair, or does the wig get in the way?

The wig is attached beneath the brim, so it drapes over your child's natural hair when they put the hat on. Works best if their hair is tucked flat or in a low ponytail first.

How do I clean or store this?

Spot-clean the brocade crown with a damp cloth. The wig can be finger-combed to refresh curls. Store upright or hang by the brim to keep the shape — don't squash it in a costume bin.

Is this suitable for outdoor Book Week parades?

Yes, the brim gives a bit of shade and the wig stays put even in light wind. Just make sure they practice walking in it first — the height can catch on doorways.

Care: Spot-clean fabric, finger-comb wig, store upright to maintain hat shape.
