What's in the Box

Pale pink dress with puckered smocking detail across bodice
White scalloped Peter Pan collar (attached)
Long bishop sleeves with elasticized cuffs
Back velcro closure for easy on/off

This Womens Eleven Costume Dress captures the iconic 80s TV character's look with a pale pink A-line silhouette, extensive smocked bodice, and white Peter Pan collar. The fitted ribbed top creates authentic vintage texture while the gathered skirt gives you full movement for Halloween photo ops or convention floors.

Lightweight polyester construction keeps you comfortable through long wear. The smocking detail is achieved through elastic shirring threads that create the dense gathered texture across the entire bodice. Sheer bishop sleeves with elastic cuffs and a knee-length skirt complete the retro silhouette. Velcro back closure means quick costume changes between panels.

Perfect For

Halloween & Costume Parties: A standout pick for Netflix-themed Halloween bashes, 80s throwback parties, or any pop-culture costume event where you want instant recognition.

Comic Conventions & Cosplay Events: Ideal for comic cons, fan expos, or cosplay meetups celebrating Stranger Things and 80s nostalgia. Pair with a blonde wig, striped tube socks, and white sneakers for character-accurate styling.

Themed Pub Crawls & Group Costumes: Works brilliantly for TV-themed pub crawls or coordinated group costumes — team up with friends as the Hawkins crew for maximum impact.

How to Wear It

Pair with white sneakers and striped knee-high socks in green, yellow, and white for the full character effect. A blonde wig completes the look, though your own hair works if you're going for a looser interpretation. Skip modern accessories — keep it vintage-coded with minimal jewellery.

Wearer FAQs

What size should I order?

Check the size chart for bust and waist measurements. The smocked bodice has some stretch through the elastic shirring, but the waist is fitted. If you're between sizes, size up for comfort.

Can I wear this over regular clothes or for indoor events?

The lightweight fabric is designed for indoor wear — conventions, Halloween parties, themed events. It's a single-layer dress, so layer a slip or tights underneath if you want extra coverage.

How do I wash this? Is the fabric durable?

Hand wash cold and hang to dry. The smocking detail is delicate — avoid wringing or machine washing, which can loosen the elastic threads. Treat it gently and it'll last through multiple wears.

Is this suitable for comic conventions and all-day wear?

Yes — the velcro back closure and lightweight construction make it comfortable for full-day convention wear. The smocked bodice moves with you, and the skirt length is practical for walking expo floors.

Care: Hand wash cold, hang dry, avoid wringing the smocked bodice.
