PRODUCT DETAILS
What's in the Box
- Black-and-white striped short-sleeve top
- Black two-tier suspender skirt with striped ruffle trim
- Traditional black French beret with stem
- Pair of white theatrical gloves
This Kids Mime Artist Costume brings the magic of French street theatre to your child's next dress-up day, with bold black-and-white stripes, a twirling suspender skirt, and classic beret that complete the silent performer look.
The striped top has a crew neckline and short sleeves, paired with a two-tier black skirt featuring white striped ruffle trim on both layers. Suspender straps attach with decorative white buttons at the front waistband, creating that authentic mime silhouette. Elasticated waistband on the skirt means comfortable all-day wear, and the layered ruffle construction gives the skirt a full, dramatic twirl when your child moves.
Perfect For
Book Week & School Dress-Up Days: A creative pick for any storybook character parade or French literature theme, from Madeline to circus-themed picture books.
Cultural Days & French-Themed Events: Ideal for Bastille Day celebrations, international culture dress-up, or any school project celebrating France and performing arts.
Drama & Dance Recitals: Perfect for theatre performances, silent film tributes, school concerts, or any theatrical event where your child needs a classic performer costume with instant visual impact.
How to Wear It
Pair with white sneakers or black ballet flats and add black-and-white striped knee-high socks for full mime energy. Encourage your child to practise their best mime gestures — the invisible box and tug-of-war rope are mandatory.
Parent FAQs
Q: What size should I order for my child?
Sizing runs XS (ages 2–3) through to XL (ages 10–11). The skirt has an elasticated waistband for give, but if your child is between sizes or tall for their age, we'd suggest sizing up for length. Check the size chart for chest and length measurements.
Q: Can my child wear this over regular clothes, or does it need layers underneath?
The top and skirt are full costume pieces designed to be worn as the outer layer. In cooler weather, a black long-sleeve tee underneath the striped top works well without disrupting the mime aesthetic.
Q: How do I wash this? Will the stripes bleed or fade?
Hand wash in cold water or gentle machine cycle inside a laundry bag. Hang to dry. The black-and-white contrast is screen-printed or dyed separately, so minimal bleeding, but avoid hot water to keep colours crisp.
Q: Is this suitable for a Book Week character parade if we're doing a French literature theme?
Absolutely. Pairs beautifully with any French storybook character or circus-themed book — think Madeline, French circus tales, or silent film-era picture books. The mime is a recognised cultural icon that fits Book Week's creative brief.
Care: Hand wash cold, hang dry. No bleach.
