Your child walks into Book Week dressed as a prairie frontier heroine — yellow plaid dress, cow-print vest slung over one shoulder, wide-brim hat tipped just right, red neckerchief knotted at the collar. The costume includes five pieces: a full-length A-line dress with gathered navy skirt and grid-pattern bodice, a black-and-white cow-print vest, a brown waist belt, a felt-effect cowboy hat, and a satin neckerchief. Cotton-blend woven fabric for the dress, denim-effect stitching detail at the skirt hem, and contrast trim on the vest give it authentic Western frontier character energy.

Parent FAQs

What size should I order?

The dress runs true to size through the bodice with a gathered A-line skirt that gives plenty of movement room. If your child is between sizes or prefers a looser fit, size up — the belt cinches the waist so the dress won't look oversized. The hat is adjustable with an elastic chin strap.

Can they wear this over regular clothes?

The dress is designed to be worn as the main garment, but the vest and accessories layer beautifully over other outfits if you want to extend the costume's use. The vest fits over a long-sleeve tee for cooler mornings, and the hat works for any Western-themed play day.

Care: Hand wash dress and vest in cold water, hang to dry. Spot-clean hat and wipe neckerchief with damp cloth.
