What's in the Box

Hooded shark dress with attached tail fin
Detachable fin sleeves (pair)

This Kids Shark Dress Costume turns your little ocean-lover into the friendliest predator at the party — soft grey velour bodice, a shark hood with red-trimmed teeth framing the face, and a twirly polka-dot tutu skirt that screams dress-up fun.

The hood features dimensional construction with white triangular teeth, embroidered eye detail, and a cheeky red polka-dot bow perched on top. White belly panel on the chest with red gill markings, ruffled cap sleeves, and a silver satin bow belt at the waist. Big shark tail fin attached at the back, plus separate fin sleeves for the arms — your kid gets full head-to-fin coverage.

Perfect For

Book Week & Ocean Literature: Natural match for any storybook with sea creatures — think Charlotte's Web (ocean edition), Rainbow Fish vibes, or marine animal chapter books. Teachers love it for under-the-sea classroom themes.

Dress-Up Play & Marine Parties: Birthday parties with ocean themes, kindy character parades, aquarium excursions, or just afternoon backyard role-play. The tutu skirt makes it party-fancy, not just Halloween-scary.

School Dress-Up Days: 100 days of school animal costume day, colour-themed spirit weeks (grey day sorted), or any excuse to wear something with a tail to school.

How to Wear It

Pair with grey tights or leggings and comfy sneakers — the dress is short enough for active play. Skip the handbag props (those are styling shots) and let the hood do the talking.

Parent FAQs

What size should I order?

Check the size chart for chest and length measurements. The bodice is fitted through the torso; if your child is between sizes, size up for room to layer a long-sleeve top underneath on cold Book Week mornings.

Can she wear this over regular clothes?

The dress is designed to be worn on its own or over a simple singlet — it's not an over-clothes layer. For indoor school events it's plenty warm; for outdoor winter dress-up add grey tights and a long-sleeve grey top underneath.

How do the fin sleeves work?

They're separate pieces with elasticized openings that slip over the arms. Kids can choose to wear them or leave them off — the dress looks complete either way.

Is this suitable for Book Week if we're doing an ocean animal theme?

Absolutely. Sharks appear in loads of picture books and ocean-themed stories. Pair it with a prop book about sea creatures and you've got a Book Week win that's also twirly and fun to wear all day.

Care: Spot clean or gentle hand wash, hang to dry. Hood keeps its shape best air-dried.
