What's in the Box

Navy blue tunic with white sailor collar and anchor embroidery
Matching navy trousers with white piping trim
White sailor cap with gold band detail

This Kids Navy Sailor Costume brings the timeless appeal of vintage maritime uniforms to Book Week morning. Your child gets the square middy collar, red-and-white striped dickey, and gold anchor embroidery that make the classic sailor look instantly recognisable.

The navy tunic sits at a comfortable dropped waist with white piping on the sleeves. Trousers have an elastic waistband and slight flare at the hem, styled with white trim. The structured cap completes the outfit with a gold band detail — ready to wear, no sewing.

Perfect For

Book Week & Maritime Literature: A natural pick for nautical adventure stories, historical fiction about the navy, or any storybook character who sets sail.

School Plays & Nativity: Works for maritime-themed concerts, historical productions, or any performance needing a classic sailor uniform.

Dress-Up Days & Parties: Suits nautical birthday parties, 100 days of school (vintage sailor suits date back over a century), or casual maritime play at home.

How to Wear It

Pair with black slip-on shoes or boat shoes. Skip modern accessories — the collar and cap are the standout pieces. Tuck the white dickey neatly under the collar for the authentic naval look.

Parent FAQs

Q: What size should I order?

Check the size chart image for chest and height measurements. The tunic is cut with a loose dropped-waist fit, and the trousers have elastic waistband for flex. If your child is between sizes, we'd say size up.

Q: Can they wear this over regular clothes?

The tunic goes over a t-shirt easily. Trousers are separate bottoms with elastic waist, so they wear like regular pants — no need for layers underneath unless the classroom is cold.

Q: How do I wash this? Is the fabric durable?

Hand wash or gentle machine cycle in cold water. The anchor embroidery and white trim are stitched on. Air dry flat to keep the cap's shape — avoid the dryer.

Q: Is this suitable for outdoor maritime events?

Yes — the cotton-blend fabric is comfortable for outdoor wear. The white collar stays crisp through a school day, and the elastic waist on the trousers keeps kids comfortable while they're running around.

Care: Hand wash cold, air dry flat. Iron collar gently if needed.
