The dress features a fitted bodice in bold horizontal black and white stripes, topped with decorative suspender straps that cross over the chest and attach to the solid black A-line skirt. A crisp white stripe accents the skirt hem, while the included striped tights complete the signature mime look. The traditional flat-crown beret and white stretch gloves add the finishing theatrical touches.

Perfect For

Halloween & Costume Parties: Whether it's a silent film night, circus-themed party, retro French cabaret evening or classic Halloween haunted theatre event, the mime aesthetic works as both creepy and comedic.

Book Week & Theatrical Events: Teachers and performers can use this for Book Week entries covering performance art characters, French literature themes, or circus storybook roles. Also suits drama productions and physical comedy showcases.

Themed Celebrations & Corporate Events: French culture nights, Bastille Day celebrations, vintage circus fundraisers, or corporate team-building events with a "silent auction" pantomime twist all benefit from this instantly recognisable costume.

How to Wear It

Pair with black character shoes or ballet flats (shoes not included). Apply the white face paint generously, then add black accents around eyes and lips in exaggerated theatrical shapes. Style hair in a dark bob under the beret or slick it back for maximum vintage effect.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size should I order for the best fit?

Refer to the size chart image on this page. The dress has a fitted bodice with back zip, so order your usual dress size. The tights are stretch knit and accommodate a range within each size.

Are shoes included in this set?

No. The set includes dress, beret, gloves, tights and makeup. Pair with your own black flats, character shoes or low heels to complete the look.

Can I wear this for a French culture event or is it only for Halloween?

Absolutely. This costume suits Bastille Day parties, French-themed dinners, circus galas, Book Week performances, and any event celebrating street performance art or vintage Parisian culture.

How do I style the beret properly?

Position the beret slightly tilted to one side of your head, not centred. If you have long hair, pin it up or wear it slicked back under the beret for an authentic 1950s French street artist look.

Is the face paint safe for sensitive skin?

The included makeup is basic theatre paint. Test on a small patch of skin before full application. Remove with gentle makeup remover or soap and water at the end of the night.

Care: Hand wash dress and tights separately in cold water. Air dry flat.
