What's in the Box

Pink and white layered dress with sequined waist band
Blue satin shawl with Peter Pan collar
Pair of pink knit gloves
Pink fabric headband with bow
Golden Ticket prop card

This Kids Veruca Salt Costume brings Roald Dahl's most memorable spoiled brat to life for Book Week, with every detail from the pink tulle skirt to the iconic Golden Ticket prop. It's the full Charlie and the Chocolate Factory experience in one complete set.

The dress has a classic Peter Pan collar bodice in white, puffed sleeves, and a pink tulle overlay skirt that sits over white satin lining with silver trim at the hem. The blue satin shawl drapes over the shoulders for that wealthy-girl-visiting-the-factory energy. Sequined waist band, pink bow appliqué, and stretchy knit gloves finish the look — no last-minute scrambling for add-ons.

Perfect For

Book Week & Roald Dahl Day: A natural pick for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, literary character parades, or any Roald Dahl-themed school event — instantly recognisable from the golden ticket alone.

School Costume Days & Themed Parties: Works for World Book Day, character dress-up days, storybook parades, or Wonka-themed birthday parties where kids want to look the part.

Halloween & Dress-Up Play: Great for trick-or-treating (the tulle skirt twirls beautifully) or casual dress-up at home when your kid wants to re-enact the factory tour scene.

How to Wear It

Pair with white tights and pink or silver Mary Jane shoes for the complete Veruca look. Style hair in blonde pigtails or curls if you want to match the book illustrations, but it works with any hairstyle — the golden ticket is the real identifier.

Parent FAQs

Q: What size should I order?

A: Check the size chart image for chest and length measurements. The dress has some give in the bodice and the tulle skirt is forgiving, so if your child is between sizes we'd say go with their usual age-range fit.

Q: Can she wear this over regular clothes, or does it need a singlet underneath?

A: The dress has a full lining and isn't see-through, so she can wear it over a simple singlet or tee if the classroom is cold. The shawl adds a layer too.

Q: How do I wash this? Is the fabric durable for Book Week and re-wear?

A: Hand wash or gentle machine cycle in a garment bag, hang to dry. The tulle can snag if it catches on rough surfaces, so store it flat or hang it up between wears.

Q: Will the golden ticket hold up, or is it just flimsy cardboard?

A: It's a printed prop card — sturdy enough for Book Week photos and parade day, but not designed for rough play. Tuck it in a pocket or bag when not posing with it.

Care: Hand wash cold, hang dry. Store tulle skirt flat to avoid crushing.
