Parent FAQs

What size should I order?

The vest and shirt are loose-fitting by design (authentic to the period ragamuffin look), and the pants have an elastic waist, so there's plenty of give. If your child is between sizes we'd go with their usual size - the costume is meant to look slightly oversized.

Can they wear this over regular clothes?

The shirt and vest layer over a plain t-shirt if it's cold, but the pants are meant to be worn as the main trouser (not over other pants). Add a plain dark tee underneath the shirt for warmth on chilly Book Week mornings.

Care: Cold hand wash, hang to dry. The distressed edges are intentional - don't trim them.
