PRODUCT DETAILS
What's in the Box
- Red hooded cape with black ribbon neck tie
- Mini dress with corset bodice, gingham skirt & tulle petticoat
This Womens Little Red Riding Hood Costume reimagines the classic fairy tale with a corseted silhouette and playful gingham details. The red hooded cape and peasant-style white neckline evoke the storybook original, while the fitted corset front and flared mini skirt give it modern costume-party appeal.
The cape drapes from the shoulders and ties with a black satin ribbon at the neck — easy on, easy off when you're indoors. Dress features a red-and-white gingham check circle skirt with built-in tulle petticoat for volume, white lace trim at the hem and neckline, and decorative black corset lacing at the bodice. The full skirt sits at a flirty mini length, comfortable for movement and dancing.
Perfect For
Halloween & Costume Parties: A standout pick for Halloween night, fairy tale-themed events, or storybook character parties where you want recognisable charm with a twist.
Book Week & Storybook Events: Ideal for teachers dressing up for Book Week staff events or adult storybook character parades — Little Red Riding Hood is a literature classic everyone recognises.
Theatrical Productions & Cosplay: Works beautifully for school concerts, community theatre, pantomimes, or Into the Woods-style productions where you need a traditional fairy tale look with stage presence.
How to Wear It
Pair with black ankle boots or Mary Janes and a wicker basket prop to complete the woodland traveller look. Hair in loose waves or braids, minimal makeup — let the cape and corset do the storytelling.
FAQs
Q: What size should I order?
Check the size chart image on this listing for bust, waist and hip measurements. The corset front has decorative lacing but the fit is set by the dress construction, so accurate measuring matters.
Q: Is the cape removable?
Yes — the cape ties on with a black ribbon at the neck, so you can wear the dress alone once you're indoors or for a different look.
Q: Does the petticoat stay in place?
The tulle underlay is sewn into the skirt lining, so it won't ride up or shift around. Gives the skirt its flared shape without separate hoops or crinolines.
Q: Can I wear this to a school Book Week event as a teacher?
Absolutely — Little Red Riding Hood is a recognised storybook character, and the costume reads as fairy tale rather than overtly sexy. Check your school's dress code for skirt length if needed.
Care: Spot clean or gentle hand wash in cold water. Hang to dry.
