PRODUCT DETAILS
What's in the Box
- Royal blue ankle-length dress with white Peter Pan collar and cuffs
- Navy blue button-front vest overlay with belt detail
- Flat-brimmed boater hat with red flower accent

This Kids Victorian Nanny Costume brings the magic of Edwardian children's literature to life with a royal blue dress, crisp white collar, and boater hat trimmed with a cheerful red flower. The full-length silhouette nails the practically-perfect British governess look — modest, proper, and unmistakably Book Week-ready.
The layered design gives authentic period detail without fuss — white Peter Pan collar and cuffs built into the dress, navy vest overlay buttoned down the front, and a fabric belt at the waist with covered buttons. The white underskirt peeks out beneath the blue hem for that classic Edwardian layered-skirt effect. Red scarf with fringe adds the finishing touch. Dress closes with center-front buttons running the full length. Hat has an elastic band to stay put during parades.
Perfect For
Book Week & World Book Day: An instant winner for British children's literature parades, Edwardian character dress-up days, or any school event celebrating classic storybook heroines.
School Projects & History Days: Spot-on for Victorian era presentations, Edwardian history lessons, or musical theatre productions where your child needs a period costume fast.
Themed Parties & Dress-Up Play: Works beautifully for Mary Poppins-inspired birthday parties, London-themed events, or rainy-day imaginative play at home with a toy umbrella and carpet bag.
How to Wear It
Pair with black ballet flats or Mary Janes and white stockings for authentic Edwardian styling. Add a toy parrot-handle umbrella and a small vintage-style handbag to complete the magical nanny look — skip modern accessories to keep the period silhouette intact.
Parent FAQs
What size should I order?
Check the size chart for chest and length measurements. The dress runs true to size with a modest A-line cut — if your child is between sizes or growing fast, size up for room to move and longevity.
Can they wear this over regular clothes?
No need — the dress is designed to be worn directly with just underwear or a slip beneath. The white collar and cuffs are sewn in, so it looks layered without extra bulk.
How do I wash this? Is the fabric durable?
Hand wash only to protect the white collar detail and preserve the fabric. The mid-weight cotton blend handles Book Week wear well, but gentle care keeps the blue vibrant and the white crisp.
Is this suitable for indoor school events?
Absolutely. The ankle-length cut is modest and school-appropriate, and the hat can be removed for classroom photos. Comfortable enough for an all-day Book Week parade or assembly.
Care: Hand wash only, air dry flat, iron on low if needed.
