Choosing a fancy dress outfit requires a look at the event and the sizes available. The Fancy Dress & Party range includes costumes for babies, children and adults. You can find options for Halloween, World Book Day, school history days and hen dos. The collection features designs from Disguise, Rubies, Smiffys, Leg Avenue, Bristol Novelty, Amscan, Dress Up America, Fiestas Guirca and Disney. Alongside full outfits, you will see masks, hats, wings, a spike bracelet and a 233 piece glow stick party pack. This guide helps you navigate the age brackets, UK dress sizes and character choices.
What matters most
The most important detail is the size. You will see sizes written in the titles as age brackets or UK dress sizes. When a child is tall for their age, go up a size. You also need to check what comes with the outfit. Costumes are usually the outfit only. They come without shoes, wigs or props unless the listing says so. Always check what is included on the product page before the day. This helps you know if you need to add your own footwear or accessories to complete the look.
Finding a children's costume
The range holds many characters for younger wearers. You can find a Dress Up America leopard costume for babies aged 6 to 12 months. For children aged 5 to 6, there is a Wicked Shiz University uniform. Children aged 7 to 8 can choose the Stranger Things Eleven pink dress. This dress features authentic smocking details on the bodice and cuffs. The same age group can wear the Nightmare Before Christmas Sally dress or a LOL Dolls Diva outfit. For ages 8 to 10, the range includes a Red Riding Hood cape set and a Tudor Girl dress.
Costumes for adults
Adults have plenty of options across different UK dress sizes and themes. You can find a Wicked Glinda deluxe costume in a small size. A Leg Avenue grey mouse romper comes in size XS. A Clueless Cher outfit features a yellow plaid jacket and skirt for sizes 12 to 14. If you need a size 16 to 18, there is a Pokémon Eevee dress with a hood, ears and an attached tail. Men can find a zombie quarterback outfit in size L. This features a shirt and trousers with an American football aesthetic.
Adding masks and accessories
You might only want a small accessory instead of a full outfit. The collection includes a black felt topper hat with an adjustable band. You can add a Bristol Novelty beige safari hat in nylon felt. There is a white wolf mask in durable plastic and card for animal themes. A black adjustable police cap offers a simple headwear choice. For a themed look, you can wear large gold dragonfly wings made of soft yarn. A 233 piece glow stick party pack lets you build glow bracelets, eyeglasses and headbands.
Themes for events
The range covers many specific event themes. For an 80s event, you can wear a green mesh top designed by Bristol Novelty. For a festive gathering, a red Miss Santa dress from Smiffys offers a modern twist on the classic character. You can find animal costumes for all ages, from a baby leopard bubble romper to an adult Pokémon Eevee dress. A white wolf mask in durable plastic provides an easy animal look for a party. Transformers and Lilo & Stitch outfits bring popular film characters to life for younger fans.

Common questions
How do I choose the right size for a child?
Sizes are written in the titles as age brackets, such as 7 to 8 or 8 to 10. You should check these numbers carefully. Where a child is tall for their age, you should go up a size. This ensures the outfit fits comfortably throughout the event.
What is included with the Stranger Things Eleven pink dress?
The Stranger Things Eleven pink dress comes as a classic pink outfit. It features authentic smocking details on the bodice and cuffs. It also includes a white collar for that signature look. Like most items in the range, it does not include shoes, wigs or extra props.
Are there any historical costumes for school days?
Yes, the Fancy Dress & Party collection includes options for school history days. Children aged 8 to 10 can wear the Rubies Tudor Girl outfit. This outfit features a red, blue and white dress with a matching hat. Another historical option is the Saxon Boy costume for ages 4 to 6.
What accessories can I add to a costume?
You can find several accessories to complete a look. The range offers a Batgirl mask, a white wolf mask and a police cap. You can also wear a beige safari hat, a black felt topper hat or gold dragonfly wings. A silver spike bracelet is another option for themed events.
Does the zombie quarterback costume include trousers?
Yes, the Fiestas Guirca zombie quarterback costume includes both the shirt and the trousers. This gives you a complete American football player outfit without needing additional clothing pieces. It comes in a men's size L, tailored for a chest of 40 to 42 inches and a 36 to 37 inch waist.
