Perfect For
Book Week Historical Figures: Ideal for schools celebrating influential women in history, women's rights themes, or early 20th-century historical events across Australia's Book Week dress-up days.
School Presentations & History Projects: Classroom talks on the suffragette movement, International Women's Day assemblies, drama productions exploring women's voting rights history, or living history museum days.
Themed Events & Parties: Edwardian garden parties, Victorian tea events, historical reenactments, or educational family days at museums and heritage sites across Australia.
How to Wear It
Pair with black Mary Jane shoes or ankle boots. Style hair in a low bun or braid for period accuracy. The sash drapes diagonally across the torso from shoulder to hip—pin at shoulder and waist to secure during active wear.

What size should I order for my child?
Refer to the size chart image on this listing for height and age guidance. The skirt has an elastic waistband for flexible fit. If your child is between sizes, size up for costume longevity.
Are shoes included with this costume?
No, shoes are not included. Black Mary Janes or ankle boots work best for the historical period look.
Is this suitable for Book Week historical figures themes?
Absolutely. The suffragette movement is a key topic in Australian school curriculum covering women's rights and social change. This costume clearly identifies the historical theme with the "VOTES FOR WOMEN" sash.
Can the sash be removed?
Yes, the sash is a separate piece worn diagonally over the dress. You can adjust or remove it, though it's the signature element identifying the suffragette theme.
