Fairy Tale Costumes
Fairy tale costumes for kids and adults
Six storybook characters, one page of fancy dress: Little Red Riding Hood, Alice, Dorothy, Goldilocks, a fairytale queen, and a fairytale prince. Sizing runs from age 4 in the kids' dresses to a UK 26 in the adult ones, fairytale or fairy tale either spelling.
 |
The Kids Red Fairytale Cape Costume is the Little Red Riding Hood one, checked apron front and matching red hooded cape included, sized 4 to 14 years. |
The Womens Traditional Alice Costume puts the whole look in one order: a light blue dress with the white apron attached, bow-detail knee-high socks, and a black headband, sized Small to X-Large. |
 |
 |
The Kids Dorothy Dress Costume is recognisable from the gingham alone: blue and white check, white blouse styling, and a matching headband, sized 4 to 14 years. |
Sized 4 to 12 years, the shortest of the kids' sizes here, the Kids Goldilocks Fairytale Dress Costume keeps it to a yellow dress with the apron already attached and a matching headband. |
 |
 |
The Womens Fairytale Queen Costume goes heart-print throughout, red, white and black, with long gloves and hold-up stockings, and it runs UK 8 to 26 across five sizes. |
For the men's side, the Mens Fairytale Prince Costume loads the detail onto the jacket: gold trim, fringed epaulettes, an embossed sash, and a mock-leather belt with a gold buckle, sized Medium to X-Large. |

What to look for in a fairy tale costume
Every costume above is one dress or jacket, with the apron, cape, headband, gloves or sash in the same order, so there's no second purchase between the box and the party. Every costume goes through over 30 measurement checks. All of our kids' products are safety tested by accredited labs.
After a named Disney character rather than a generic storybook one? Our Disney costumes sit next door. Washing is the same across everything here, a cold hand wash and an air dry, which is what keeps a pinafore apron or a fringed epaulette in shape.
Frequently asked questions
What age ranges do fairy tale costumes come in?
Sizing runs from age 4 in the kids' dresses up to a UK 26 in the Womens Fairytale Queen Costume, so a child and an adult can dress from the same story on the same order.
What's an easy fairy tale costume for adults?
The Womens Traditional Alice Costume. The dress with its apron attached, socks, and headband arrive together, so there is nothing to assemble and nothing to hunt down separately.
Are there fairy tale costumes for boys and men?
The Mens Fairytale Prince Costume covers the adult men's side, with a gold-trimmed jacket, fringed epaulettes, an embossed sash, and a mock-leather belt, sized Medium to X-Large. The kids' styles on this page are all dresses.
What's included in a fairy tale costume?
The extras are built in rather than sold alongside: an apron on Red Riding Hood, Goldilocks, and Alice, a hooded cape on Red Riding Hood, headbands on Alice, Dorothy, and Goldilocks, and long gloves and hold-up stockings with the Fairytale Queen.
Can fairy tale costumes be worn for World Book Day?
Yes. Little Red Riding Hood, Dorothy, and Goldilocks are all book characters, so they fit the brief; check your school's own note for anything on props. The same dress works for parties after.
How do I look after a fairy tale costume?
A cold hand wash and an air dry, never the machine. That is what keeps a checked apron or a hooded cape in shape between wears.
