What's in the Box

• Long sleeve top with distressed gradient finish, chevron lace yoke, and decorative corset waist panel
• Detachable black lace cape with ruffled tiers
• Leggings with attached layered skirt (pink upper tier with lace fringe, black mesh ruffle lower tier)

This Girls Dark Princess Costume takes the fairytale in a rebellious direction — rose-pink distressed finish fading to charcoal and black, with corset-style lacing detail and a detachable black lace cape. It's a punk-rock princess look, equal parts edgy and royal, sized for girls ready to own Book Week or Halloween with attitude.

The standout detail is the weathered gradient effect across the whole outfit — digitally printed onto stretchy polyester knit so it looks authentically distressed without actual fraying. Chevron lace accent crosses the chest, the waist has a decorative corset panel (eyelet and lacing are printed, not functional), and the cape attaches at the shoulders with clips. The attached skirt has two tiers: a solid pink layer with black lace trim, then a black mesh ruffle underneath. Leggings are printed with metallic texture bands at the knees, so the whole set feels coordinated without looking costume-y. Easy on, easy off, machine-washable polyester blend.

Perfect For

Book Week & Character Parades: A natural fit for any "villain origin story" theme, fallen princess character, or edgy fairytale retelling — pairs with books exploring anti-heroes and character transformations.

Halloween & Movie-Themed Parties: Brings serious costume energy to trick-or-treat night, Halloween parties, or movie character dress-up events where your kid wants to stand out from the usual princess crowd.

Dress-Up Play & Themed Birthdays: Works equally well for casual backyard dress-up, Disney villain-themed birthdays, or any event where the brief is "princess with an edge".

How to Wear It

Pair with black ankle boots (not included) and a bright pink wig with silver crown (also sold separately) for the full transformation look. Keep accessories minimal — the gradient print and cape do the heavy lifting.

Parent FAQs

What size should I order?

Check the size chart for chest and height measurements. The top and leggings are stretch knit so they're forgiving, but if your daughter is between sizes and wants a snugger fit, stick with the smaller size; if she prefers looser or plans to layer a long-sleeve tee underneath, size up.

Can she wear this over regular clothes?

The leggings and top are fitted, designed to be worn directly on skin or over thin underlayers (like a singlet if the hall is cold). Not roomy enough for bulky clothes underneath.

Does the cape stay on during active play?

The cape attaches with clips at the shoulders and stays secure during normal wear and photos. For rowdy playground use or outdoor running games, we'd recommend removing it to avoid snagging.

Is the wig included?

No — the bright pink wig and crown shown in the styling images are sold separately. The costume set includes only the top, cape, and leggings with attached skirt. Boots also not included.

Care: Machine wash cold, gentle cycle, tumble dry low. Do not iron the printed areas.
