What's in the Box

Royal blue and yellow princess ball gown with gold braid trim and puffed sleeves
Detachable red satin cape with white pointed collar and bow accent

This Kids Storybook Princess Costume brings the fairest-of-them-all energy to Book Week with a royal blue fitted bodice, sunshine yellow ball gown skirt, and classic red cape. The iconic blue-yellow-red colour blocking makes it instantly recognisable for any fairytale character parade.

The bodice features gold braided trim down the centre and puffed sleeves with red and blue detailing, plus a white pointed collar and red satin bow at the neckline. The full-length skirt has layers of tulle with scattered gold glitter embellishments that catch the light. Cape attaches at the shoulders and sits over the dress collar for that royal flourish. Back zipper closure makes it easy to get on and off before school.

Perfect For

Book Week & Fairytale Days: A natural pick for storybook princess parades, classic fairytale dress-up days, or any Book Week event celebrating beloved princess characters from literature.

School Performances & Character Parties: Works beautifully for nativity plays, school concerts, princess-themed birthday parties, or kindy photo days when your kid wants full royal regalia.

Dress-Up Play at Home: The kind of costume that lives in the dress-up box long after Book Week — perfect for rainy afternoon imaginative play, princess tea parties, or backyard adventures in the enchanted forest.

How to Wear It

Pair with black Mary Janes or gold ballet flats and add a simple tiara or headband (not included) to complete the princess look. Keep jewellery minimal — the gold trim and bow already provide plenty of sparkle.

Parent FAQs

Q: What size should I order?

Check the size chart image on this listing for chest and length measurements. The bodice is fitted through the torso, so if your child is between sizes or has a longer torso, size up for comfort and room to move.

Q: Can she wear this over regular clothes, or is it warm enough on its own?

The dress has short puffed sleeves and a fitted bodice, so it's best over a thin long-sleeve top if the day is cold. The cape adds a bit of warmth but it's decorative rather than insulating. Most kids wear it over their school uniform or leggings for Book Week parades.

Q: Is the tiara included?

No — the crown shown in the photos is styling only. The set includes the dress and cape. Add a simple headband or tiara separately if you want the full royal look.

Q: How do I wash this? Will the glitter come off?

Hand wash in cold water and lay flat to dry — the tulle overlay and satin fabrics won't survive a machine cycle. The glitter embellishments are sewn or heat-set into the tulle, so they should hold up with gentle care.

Care: Hand wash cold, hang dry, no tumble dryer.
