The floor-length cape flows from the shoulders with an attached hood that frames your child's face — perfect for Book Week mermaid characters, fairy dress-up, or magical sea creature parades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe standout feature is the dense layer of coin-sized sequins in overlapping rows, creating a dimensional scale texture that catches light from every angle. Pastel rainbow hues — pink, lavender, blue, peach, white — shift and shimmer with movement. Sheer mesh construction keeps it lightweight and allows it to layer over regular clothes without adding bulk. Metallic trim at the neckline adds a finished touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook Week \u0026amp; Mermaid Stories\u003c\/strong\u003e: A natural fit for The Little Mermaid, Rainbow Fish, mermaid fantasy novels, or any underwater character parade at school.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFantasy Dress-Up Days\u003c\/strong\u003e: Works for fairy-themed events, magical creature dress-up, ocean spirit costumes, or any Book Week character who needs a bit of shimmer and mystery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDance Recitals \u0026amp; Parties\u003c\/strong\u003e: The flowing cape makes a statement at costume parties, kindy dress-up days, or dance performances where your child wants to bring mermaid energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Wear It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLayer it over a simple dress, leggings and a tee, or even a swimsuit for mermaid-pool-party vibes.

If your child is on the smaller side (kindy\/prep), expect it to trail a bit on the ground — still wearable, just dramatic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: Can she wear this over her school uniform or regular clothes?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Yes — that's the beauty of it. The sheer mesh and loose drape mean it goes on over anything, making it perfect for last-minute Book Week mornings when you don't want a full costume change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: How do I wash this? Will the sequins fall off?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Hand wash or delicate cycle inside a mesh laundry bag to protect the sequins. Air dry flat. The sequins are individually stitched through the center, so they're secure, but rough handling or machine agitation can loosen them over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: Is this suitable for outdoor school events, or is it too delicate?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: It's durable enough for a school parade or costume day, but the sheer mesh can snag on playground equipment or rough surfaces. Best for indoor dress-up, dance recitals, or supervised outdoor events where she won't be climbing fences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand wash or delicate cycle in a mesh bag, air dry flat, avoid rough surfaces that could snag the sequins.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kids Book Week Costumes","offers":[{"title":"Age 3-5","offer_id":49132048023826,"sku":"lp1105 s","price":29.69,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Age 6-8","offer_id":49132048056594,"sku":"lp1105 m","price":29.69,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Age 9-11","offer_id":49132048089362,"sku":"lp1105 l","price":29.69,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0744\/8382\/6962\/products\/lp1105.jpg?v=1682322080","url":"https:\/\/kidsbookweekcostumes.com.au\/products\/kids-mermaid-sequin-dress-iridescent-scale-costume-with-flower-crown","provider":"Kids Book Week Costumes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
