PRODUCT DETAILS
What's in the Box
- Royal blue peplum jacket with shawl collar and white cuffs
- White mock shirt bib with high collar and red bow tie
- Floor-length A-line skirt in matching royal blue
- Navy pillbox-style hat with red floral trim
This Womens Victorian Nanny Costume captures the prim-and-proper elegance of an Edwardian-era magical caretaker, with a royal blue tailored jacket, crisp white mock shirt, and floor-length skirt. The silhouette is instantly recognisable — nipped waist, shawl collar, structured peplum with exaggerated side bows creating a bustle effect at the back.
Mid-weight matte fabric gives the jacket and skirt a polished period feel without being too heavy. The mock shirt is a separate dickey-style bib that layers under the jacket, complete with high collar and red ribbon bow. White cuffs and a single red decorative button at center front add authentic Victorian detail. The pillbox hat finishes the look with red fabric flowers at the side.
Perfect For
Book Week & Literature Days: A natural pick for any magical nanny from classic children's literature, Edwardian storybook characters, or early 1900s historical fiction projects.
Musical Theatre & School Productions: Perfect for community theatre, school musicals, or drama class performances where you need a period-accurate nanny costume with instant visual impact.
Vintage Parties & Conventions: Wear to Edwardian-themed events, vintage costume parties, character conventions, or Halloween gatherings where you want a polished nostalgic look.
How to Wear It
Pair with black Mary Jane heels and white gloves for the full Victorian effect. Add an umbrella prop or vintage carpet bag to complete the practically-perfect aesthetic. Style hair in a low bun or updo to match the prim Edwardian silhouette.
Parent FAQs
Q: What size should I order?
A: Check the size chart for bust, waist, and hip measurements. The jacket is tailored through the waist, so if you're between sizes we'd say size up for comfort.
Q: Can I wear this indoors for a full school event?
A: Yes — the mid-weight fabric is breathable enough for indoor wear, and the mock shirt layers easily if you need to remove the jacket.
Q: How do I wash this? Is the fabric durable?
A: Hand wash cold and line dry to keep the structured silhouette. The polyester-blend fabric holds up well to repeated wear.
Q: Is this suitable for a Book Week parade?
A: Absolutely — it's a recognised literary character costume with instant visual appeal, and the floor-length skirt moves beautifully for walking.
Care: Hand wash cold, line dry, steam to refresh.
