Frequently Asked Questions
What size does this caterpillar costume fit?
This is a unisex kids costume designed to layer over regular clothing. Check the size chart image on the product page for chest and length measurements to match your child's height.
What clothing does my child need underneath?

Is this suitable for Book Week dress-up?
Yes, this garden bug costume works perfectly for storybook character themes, insect literature celebrations, and Book Week events focused on nature and lifecycle stories.
Will the antennae stay upright during wear?

How do I care for the costume fabric?
Hand wash cold in mild detergent and hang to dry. Avoid machine washing to protect the wire-reinforced antennae and fabric sheen. Iron on low heat if needed.
