FAQs

No, the glasses are not included with this costume set.

What size is this costume?

This specific variant is sized for UK children aged 2-3 years.

How should I wash the costume?

We recommend hand washing in cold water and air drying to preserve the fabric quality.

Is this costume suitable for girls?

While marketed as a male costume, it is a versatile fancy dress item that can be worn by any child who fits the size specifications.

Can I get this in a different size?

Yes, Bristol Novelty offers this style in other sizes, such as 1-2 and 3-4, subject to availability.

Troubleshooting

Costume arrives with deep creases.

Hang the outfit in a bathroom while taking a hot shower to let steam release wrinkles or use a cool-setting garment steamer.

The fit feels slightly loose around the waist.

Use a small, child-safe safety pin on the inside of the waistband or a hidden belt to adjust the trousers for a more secure fit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • All-in-one costume set saves time on sourcing individual items
  • Tailored specifically for the 2-3 age group for a better fit
  • Fun, classic aesthetic that is perfect for photos and themed events
  • Lightweight materials suitable for extended wear during parties

Cons

  • Glasses are not included and must be purchased separately
  • Design is limited to specific ages 2-3, requiring a new set as the child grows
  • Hand wash care recommended due to costume fabric sensitivity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To prepare the costume, gently steam or cool-iron the fabric to remove any creases from packaging. Given the delicate nature of costume fabrics, it is best to hand wash the set in cold water with mild detergent to maintain the integrity of the pattern and seams. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can shrink the material or damage the fabric structure. The outfit is compatible with most standard toddler footwear, though adding your own accessories—such as a cane or toy glasses—can further enhance the overall effect.
