The Girls Matilda Costume Kit brings Roald Dahl's beloved book-loving heroine to life with three instantly recognisable accessories. Licensed from the classic literary character, this kit transforms any white top and jeans into Matilda Wormwood's signature look in minutes.
The crossbody bag prop features a printed brown shoulder strap and padded felt construction, complete with a visible red dictionary and baby bottle—iconic story elements that fans will recognise immediately. The black wig has a shoulder-length layered cut with fringe, capturing Matilda's dark-haired schoolgirl appearance. The handheld liquid motif prop references the memorable newt-in-water-glass scene, adding interactive storytelling detail.

Perfect For
Book Week & World Book Day: An ideal choice for Book Week parades, World Book Day celebrations, and school literary character events. The instantly recognisable Roald Dahl character makes her a standout choice for costume competitions and book-themed assemblies.
Roald Dahl Themed Parties: Perfect for Roald Dahl birthday parties, library reading events, or literary-themed fancy dress occasions. The accessory kit format makes it easy for kids to participate in dress-up activities without overheating in full costumes.
School Presentations & Drama Activities: Great for students performing book reports, drama class character work, or school concert appearances. The quick-change design allows kids to switch from regular clothes to character costume between classroom activities.
How to Wear It
Layer the crossbody bag over a plain white t-shirt or long-sleeve top. Pair with blue jeans, a skirt, or grey school uniform bottoms to complete Matilda's casual schoolgirl look. Add simple black Mary Jane shoes or school shoes—no need for fancy footwear.
Frequently Asked Questions
What clothing does my child need to provide?
Your child needs a plain white t-shirt or long-sleeve top and blue jeans, skirt, or grey bottoms. Simple black or brown shoes complete the look. The costume kit layers over these basic items.
How does the bag attach to clothing?
The bag features a printed crossbody strap that drapes over the shoulder. The bag component may attach with safety pins, or clip fasteners—check packaging upon arrival for specific attachment method.
Is this suitable for Book Week competitions?
Yes—Matilda is a widely recognised Roald Dahl character and a Book Week favourite. The licensed kit includes story-specific props (dictionary, baby bottle, newt-in-glass reference) that judges and teachers will appreciate for authenticity.
Can the wig be adjusted for different head sizes?
It works for most children's head sizes and can be secured with bobby pins if needed for active wear during school parades.
How do I care for the accessories after the event?
Spot-clean the bag and props with a damp cloth. Store the wig on a wig stand or in its original packaging to maintain the styled fringe. Keep accessories in a dry place for future dress-up events.
Care:Spot-clean bag and props; store wig on stand to preserve shape.
