FAQs

Does this costume come with boots?

No, the costume set includes a dress, belt, and hat only. Footwear is not included.

Is the fabric machine washable?

Due to the delicate frayed-edge design, hand washing or spot cleaning is recommended to prevent further fraying.

What is the sizing for this product?

This specific variant is a UK women's size 16.

Can I adjust the waist of the dress?

Yes, the included matching belt allows you to cinch the waist to create a more tailored silhouette.

Is the skull and crossbones print permanent?

Yes, the detail is designed for the hat and is intended to withstand typical use at parties.

Troubleshooting

Hat feels loose or slips off

Use a small amount of double-sided fabric tape or a few hidden bobby pins to secure the hat to your hair.

Dress appears too wrinkled from storage

Hang the dress in a bathroom while running a hot shower to use the steam to relax the fabric creases.

Pros and Cons

  • Frayed-edge finish adds a professional, weathered pirate look
  • Vibrant red colour creates a striking visual impact
  • Included belt allows for a more personalized fit

Cons

  • Specific sizing (UK 16) may require checking a size chart for best fit
  • Material may require gentle handling to maintain the frayed-edge detailing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To prepare the costume for your event, unpack the items and shake out the dress to allow the frayed edges to sit naturally. If the fabric has arrived with creases, use a low-heat iron or a steamer, taking care to avoid the fraying sections and the hat trim. Due to the intentional weathered nature of the garment, avoid heavy machine washing, which may cause excessive shredding of the edges; spot cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended for minor marks. This costume is sized as a UK 16, which is standard for adult sizing, but it is recommended to verify your measurements against a standard size guide to ensure comfort for all-day wear.
