Encourage your child to practise their best mime gestures — the invisible box and tug-of-war rope are mandatory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eParent FAQs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: What size should I order for my child?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizing 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: Can my child wear this over regular clothes, or does it need layers underneath?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: How do I wash this? Will the stripes bleed or fade?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: Is this suitable for a Book Week character parade if we're doing a French literature theme?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbsolutely. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand wash cold, hang dry.
