This Kids Mary Poppins Costume brings Disney's beloved magical nanny to Book Week with all the Edwardian charm of the film. The navy blue and black striped dress features a bright turquoise satin mock scarf at the neckline, layered shoulder shawl that creates a cape effect, and printed decorative buttons down the front — exactly the whimsical Victorian silhouette Mary Poppins wears in the movie.

The fabric is a ribbed polyester blend with subtle horizontal stripes that catches the light beautifully, while the attached scarf and shawl layers eliminate any fiddly styling on the morning. The red felt bowler hat is the standout piece — grosgrain ribbon band, tulle detail, and a decorative bird with feather that nods to the film's parrot-handle umbrella. Back zipper makes it easy to slip on over a thermal if the classroom is chilly.

Perfect For

Book Week & Literature Days: A natural choice for P.L. Travers' Mary Poppins books or Disney's Mary Poppins Returns film — recognised by teachers and classmates alike as the practically perfect nanny.

Disney-Themed Parties & Storybook Parades: Works beautifully for Disney princess alternatives, Victorian character days, or any event celebrating classic children's literature with a magical twist.

Musical Theatre & Dress-Up Play: Ideal for school concerts, drama performances, or backyard games where your child wants to channel Mary Poppins' confidence and kindness.

How to Wear It

Pair with black Mary Jane shoes and white ankle socks for the full Edwardian effect. Optional carpet bag and umbrella props (sold separately) complete the look, but the dress and hat alone are instantly recognisable. Hair in a low bun or soft curls suits the character's polished style.

Parent FAQs

What size should I order?

Check the size chart for chest and length measurements. The dress has an A-line cut with some give through the waist, so if your child is between sizes we'd suggest sizing up for a longer wear window — the empire waistline is forgiving.

Can she wear this over regular clothes for outdoor Book Week parades?

Yes — the back zipper and roomy sleeves make it easy to layer over a long-sleeve top and leggings if it's a cold morning. The attached scarf and shawl stay put without shifting around.

How do I wash this? Is the hat delicate?

Hand wash the dress in cold water and hang to dry; the satin scarf detail holds up well but avoid the dryer. Spot clean the felt hat with a damp cloth — the bird and feather trim are delicate, so keep it out of the washing machine.

Is this suitable for a school musical or nativity play?

Absolutely. The Victorian silhouette and muted navy palette work for period productions, and the whimsical hat makes it perfect for any Mary Poppins-themed performance. Teachers love the built-in accessories that don't fall off mid-scene.

Care: Hand wash dress, hang dry. Spot clean hat with damp cloth.
