Your daughter walks into the classroom on Book Week morning in a sky-blue dress with a crisp white apron, Peter Pan collar, and a bow perched in her hair. The other kids instantly recognise the character. The teacher smiles. You've nailed it. This Girls Storybook Character Dress captures the magic of classic fairytale heroines — the girl who tumbled down the rabbit hole and into a wonderland of adventure.

The dress is made from a smooth polyester blend with a slight sheen, giving it that picture-book quality. Sky blue A-line silhouette with a fitted bodice and full skirt. White Peter Pan collar sits neatly over the shoulders. Puffed short sleeves with elastic cuffs and ruffle trim. White piping runs along the hem for a polished finish. The white apron overlays the front with a bib-style design and button detailing down the centre — it's the signature piece that makes the costume instantly recognisable.

What's in the Box

• Sky blue dress with Peter Pan collar and puffed sleeves

• Black hair bow accessory (alternative styling option)

Perfect for Book Week, storybook character day, fairytale-themed class events, and literary costume parades.

Pair with black Mary Janes and white tights for the full ensemble (shoes and tights not included).

Parent FAQs

What size should I order?

The dress is made from non-stretch material, so it runs true to size through the bodice with no give. If your daughter is between sizes or prefers a looser fit, we'd suggest sizing up. The skirt has room to move, but the fitted bodice needs to sit comfortably across the chest and shoulders. Check the size chart image for chest and length measurements.

Can she wear this over regular clothes?

The dress is designed to be worn as the main outfit, not over bulky layers — the bodice is structured and won't accommodate thick clothing underneath. She can wear a singlet or light t-shirt beneath if the classroom is cold, but the apron sits flush against the dress front and won't lay flat over extra bulk. Footless white tights work perfectly underneath without adding volume.

Care: Hand wash cold, hang to dry. Press apron and collar with a cool iron if needed before wearing.
