Product Details
What's Included
- Royal blue ankle-length dress with white Peter Pan collar and cuffs and navy blue button-front vest overlay with belt detail
- Flat-brimmed boater hat with red flower accent
- Flowing red fringed scarf
The Kids Victorian Nanny Costume recreates the iconic silhouette of the "practically perfect" British governess from beloved children's literature. The ankle-length dress features authentic Edwardian period styling with a modest A-line cut, long sleeves, and layered white-and-blue construction.
Royal blue mid-weight fabric forms the main dress body, topped. White Peter Pan collar and matching white cuffs create the crisp blouse effect. The white underskirt hem peeks beneath the blue dress for historically accurate layering. A fabric belt with covered buttons cinches the waist. The flat-brimmed boater hat and flowing red scarf complete the unmistakable Victorian nanny look.
Key Features
- Full-length center-front button closure with covered fabric buttons running the entire dress length
- Integrated white collar and cuffs sewn into construction — no separate pieces to lose
- Separate fringed scarf accessory ties the classic blue-and-red color scheme together
Perfect For
Book Week & Literary Character Days: Whether it's a Book Week character parade, World Book Day dress-up, or storybook character presentation at school, this costume instantly identifies the beloved magical nanny from British children's literature without needing props.
School Projects & History Lessons: Ideal for Edwardian era school projects, Victorian history presentations, or living history days exploring early 20th-century British domestic life and children's caregivers.
Musical Theatre & Performances: Perfect for school productions, community theatre performances, or drama class showcases exploring classic British musical theatre characters and Edwardian-era storytelling.
How to Wear It
Pair with black ballet flats or Mary Jane shoes with low heel for authentic period footwear. Add prop accessories like a black umbrella with parrot handle, carpet bag, measuring tape, or "spoonful of sugar" to enhance character recognition. Hair can be swept into a low bun or kept neatly styled beneath the hat.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size should I order for my daughter?
Refer to the size chart image on the product page for height and chest measurements. The ankle-length design works best when the hem grazes the top of the shoe, so measure your child's height from shoulder to ankle if between sizes.
Are shoes or the umbrella included?
No — the costume includes the dress, hat, and scarf only. Shoes and props like umbrella or carpet bag are sold separately and shown for styling reference only.
Is this suitable for Book Week character parades?
Yes — the Victorian nanny is a classic British children's literature character recognized in Book Week celebrations. The blue-and-red color scheme and boater hat make her instantly identifiable without needing to carry props during parades.
How do I style the scarf and hat together?
Place the boater hat level on the head with the red flower facing forward, securing. Drape the red scarf loosely around the neck with both fringed ends hanging in front for the classic governess silhouette.
What are the care instructions?
Hand wash only in cold water. Hang to dry flat, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent color fading on the royal blue fabric. Spot-clean the hat and scarf as needed.
Care:Hand wash cold, hang dry flat.
