The empire waist features decorative criss-cross black ribbon lacing that runs from chest to waist, giving you that corset-laced sorceress silhouette without the squeeze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe velvet-like black fabric drapes beautifully to the floor, while the matte red centre insert adds a pop of haunted-mansion drama. Bell sleeves feature red and black flame-scroll trim at the cuffs, and the attached hood frames your face for full dark-magic energy. The separate black choker completes the look — Victorian witchcraft vibes without fussy assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHalloween Parties \u0026amp; Haunted Events\u003c\/strong\u003e: A natural pick for vampire balls, haunted mansion parties, or any spooky-season event where you want to look elegant and eerie at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGothic \u0026amp; Medieval Festivals\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fits right in at Renaissance fairs with a dark twist, medieval-themed events, or Gothic club nights — the ornate trim and full-length cut read as period costume, not disposable party wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDark Fantasy Cosplay\u003c\/strong\u003e: Works for witchcraft-themed cosplay, vampiress characters, or any dark sorceress role at conventions and themed photo shoots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Wear It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePair with black heeled boots or witchy pointed-toe heels to keep the hem off the ground. Add a wide-brimmed black hat or keep the hood up for maximum Gothic drama — skip modern jewellery and let the ornate sleeve trim do the talking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat size should I order?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck the size chart for bust and waist measurements — the bodice is fitted through the empire waist, then flows into a full A-line skirt. If between sizes, size up for a looser fit through the torso.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I wear this indoors at a venue, or is it too warm?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe velvet fabric is heavier than costume polyester, so you'll feel warm if you're dancing or in a heated venue. The hood is attached but you don't have to wear it up — folding it back helps with temperature control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow do I wash this? Is the velvet durable?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpot-clean with a damp cloth or hand-wash gently in cold water and hang to dry. The velvet-like finish can crush if machine-washed, so treat it like a delicate garment for longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIs the lacing on the bodice functional, or just decorative?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe criss-cross ribbon lacing is stitched-on trim — it creates the corset-laced look but doesn't adjust for fit. Sizing comes from the dress construction itself, not the lacing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spot-clean or hand-wash cold, hang dry, steam to refresh velvet texture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kids Book Week Costumes","offers":[{"title":"S (AU 6-8)","offer_id":44999779516690,"sku":"lp1171 s","price":36.29,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"M (AU 10-12)","offer_id":44999779549458,"sku":"lp1171 m","price":36.29,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0744\/8382\/6962\/products\/lp1171.jpg?v=1682325894","url":"https:\/\/kidsbookweekcostumes.com.au\/products\/womens-gothic-red-riding-hood-costume-dark-fantasy-hooded-robe-set","provider":"Kids Book Week Costumes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
