PRODUCT DETAILS
What's in the Box
- Blue gingham pinafore dress with fitted bodice and full A-line skirt
- White mock blouse with stand-away collar and blue gingham piping
- Detachable puff sleeves with gathered elastic cuffs and blue trim
- Adjustable shoulder straps with button detail and gingham bows

This Womens Dorothy Costume Plus Size captures the Kansas farmgirl's iconic look from the 1939 classic, sized for curvy women who want the full yellow brick road experience. Blue gingham pinafore sits over a crisp white mock blouse with that recognisable stand-away collar, and the full skirt swishes with every step down the yellow brick road.
The gingham bodice has a fitted cut through the waist with adjustable shoulder straps (you pin them at the shoulder for your exact fit), and the white puff sleeves attach separately so you can get the blouse-and-pinafore layered effect just right. White lace trim finishes the hem, and the matching blue satin hair ribbons are ready for braiding into pigtails. Comfortable polyester fabric with a bit of give — you'll wear this all day without tugging or adjusting.
Perfect For
Book Week & Literature Days: Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz is a perennial Book Week favourite, recognised instantly by teachers and kids alike.
Halloween & Movie Character Parties: Pair with ruby red shoes (not included) and a wicker basket for the full tornado-swept-farmgirl effect at costume parties, Halloween pub crawls, or Oz-themed trivia nights.
1930s & Storybook Events: Works beautifully for vintage Kansas farmgirl themes, classic film costume contests, or any event celebrating golden-age Hollywood.
How to Wear It
Pair with ruby red shoes or heels, white ankle socks, and braid your hair into two low pigtails with the included blue ribbons. A wicker basket with a stuffed dog completes the look (sold separately). Skip modern jewellery — Dorothy's a simple Kansas girl.
FAQs
Q: What size should I order?
This is the plus-size variant. Check the size chart for bust, waist, and hip measurements — the bodice is fitted, so if you're between sizes, size up for comfort.
Q: How do the adjustable shoulder straps work?
The straps are designed longer than standard and feature button attachments. You'll pin them at the shoulder (safety pin works) to adjust the length to your torso. Simple alteration that takes 30 seconds.
Q: Are the ruby slippers included?
No — shoes, socks, basket, and Toto are sold separately. The costume is the dress, mock blouse, sleeves, straps, and hair ribbons only.
Q: Can I wear this to a Book Week event as a teacher?
Absolutely. Dorothy is a universally recognised storybook character, and this plus-size fit is designed specifically for adult women. You'll be the most photographed teacher on parade day.
Care: Spot clean or gentle hand wash cold. Hang to dry. Iron the collar and sleeves on low if needed.
