This Womens Red & White Striped Costume brings playful 80s character energy to any costume event, with horizontal red and white stripes across the cold-shoulder top, matching thigh-high stockings, and a white beanie with pom-pom. The attached turquoise tutu skirt and sequined waistband add party glam to the classic look.
Standout details: blue sequined bow at the neckline, red sequined band on the waistband and beanie, and layered ruffled tutu for volume. The cold-shoulder halter design gives a contemporary costume cut while keeping the stripes front-and-center. Stockings stretch to fit most heights comfortably.
Perfect For
80s Parties & Retro Themed Events: Iconic for 80s costume parties, decade days, or retro pub crawls — the striped design is instantly recognisable and fun to style with chunky sneakers or boots.
Halloween & Costume Parties: Stand-out choice for Halloween where you want a playful, non-scary costume that works for group themes or solo wear. The tutu adds a fun twist to the classic stripes.
Book Week & Character Events: Natural pick for adult Book Week dress-up (teacher costumes, library events) or conventions — pairs with round glasses and a walking stick for full character immersion.
How to Wear It
Pair with white sneakers or red ballet flats. Add round black-rimmed glasses and a magnifying glass prop for the full character effect. Keep makeup simple — red lip, natural brows, and maybe a drawn-on freckle or two if you're feeling playful.
Parent FAQs
Q: What size should I order?
A: Check the size chart for bust and hip measurements — the top is stretchy knit with halter straps, so it has some give, but the tutu waistband is more fitted. If between sizes, size up for comfort.
Q: Are the shoes included?
A: No, shoes are not included. The glittery flats in the photo are styling only — pair with your own white sneakers, red flats, or boots.
Q: How do I wash the striped stockings and dress?
A: Hand wash cold and air dry to protect the sequins and tulle layers. The knit striped fabric is durable but the sequined trim needs gentle care.
Q: Can I wear this to a school Book Week event as a teacher?
A: Absolutely — the striped design is a beloved storybook character from the 80s, perfect for adult Book Week participation. Pair with props and you're set for classroom dress-up day.
Care: Hand wash cold, air dry flat. Avoid wringing the tutu.
