FAQs

What age group is this costume for?

This specific costume is designed for children aged 5-6 years (UK size).

What does the costume include?

The costume includes a long blue dress with a mock white apron and red cross detail, and a matching headpiece.

Can this costume be machine washed?

Hand washing is recommended to maintain the quality and details of the costume. If machine washing is attempted, use a very gentle cycle with cold water and minimal agitation.

Is the costume suitable for boys and girls?

Yes, the costume is designed as unisex and can be worn by children of any gender.

What are the materials used?

The costume is made from a polyester blend, designed for comfort and durability during children's wear.

Where can I find other sizes?

Other sizes, such as 7-8 years and 9-10 years, are available as sibling variants.

Is this historically accurate?

The costume is inspired by historical WW1 nurse uniforms and is designed for fancy dress and educational play rather than strict historical reenactment accuracy.

Troubleshooting

Costume seems too large or small

Refer to the size chart provided by Smiffys and compare it with the child's measurements. If between sizes, consider the larger size for more room or the smaller size for a snugger fit. Check sibling sizes available (e.g., 7-8 years, 9-10 years) if this size is not suitable.

Red cross emblem or printing is fading

Ensure washing instructions are followed precisely, particularly avoiding harsh detergents and high temperatures. Hand washing and air drying are best for preserving printed details.

Headpiece is uncomfortable or doesn't stay on

Try adjusting the fit of the headpiece. If it has ties, ensure they are secured comfortably. Additional small hair clips can be used for extra security if needed.
