Product Details
What's Included
- Blue gingham pinafore bodice in printed polyester with adjustable shoulder straps and white button detail
- White mock blouse underlayer with stand-away collar and blue gingham piping trim

The Plus Size Dorothy Wizard of Oz Costume is an officially licensed pinafore-style dress capturing Dorothy Gale's iconic look from the 1939 film classic. The blue-and-white gingham bodice sits over a white puff-sleeve blouse, finished with a full skirt and lace petticoat trim that swishes with every step down the yellow brick road.
The gingham check is a crisp blue-and-white print on polyester, trimmed with white lace at the hem and coordinated blue satin bows at the shoulders. The white collar stands away from the neckline with delicate blue piping, while the puff sleeves gather at the cuffs with matching trim. Adjustable shoulder straps feature decorative white button detail and can be pinned to fit your frame — a practical touch for plus size tailoring that keeps the pinafore secure and flattering.

Perfect For
Book Week & School Events: Dorothy Gale is a recognised storybook heroine from L. Frank Baum's *The Wonderful Wizard of Oz* (1900). Ideal for Book Week costume parades, teacher dress-up days, and literary character events celebrating classic children's literature and film adaptations.
Halloween & Movie Character Parties: The 1939 MGM film is a Halloween and costume party staple. Works for retro Hollywood nights, Wizard of Oz themed events, 1930s Kansas farmgirl parties, and group costumes with Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion.
Hens Nights & Themed Celebrations: A recognisable, comfortable costume for fancy dress parties, pub crawls, and group events. The gingham-and-bows aesthetic also suits vintage picnic parties, county fair themes, and nostalgic Americana celebrations.
How to Wear It
Pair with ruby red shoes or slippers (not included), white ankle socks, and braided pigtails tied with the included blue bows for full Dorothy accuracy. A wicker basket with a small stuffed dog (Toto) completes the farmgirl-swept-to-Oz look — sold separately but widely available at costume accessory retailers.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the plus size fit work, and how do I adjust the shoulder straps?
This is the plus size variant of the Dorothy costume, designed for adult women's proportions. The shoulder straps are longer than standard and feature button attachments — pin them at the shoulders to your desired length for a secure, flattering fit. A safety pin at each shoulder works well.
Are the ruby slippers, socks, basket and Toto included?
No — this listing includes the dress (pinafore bodice, mock blouse, puff sleeves, skirt) and hair bows only. Ruby slippers, white socks, wicker basket and stuffed Toto are sold separately.
Can I wear this for Book Week as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz book?
Yes — Dorothy Gale is the heroine of L. Frank Baum's 1900 novel *The Wonderful Wizard of Oz*, making this costume appropriate for Book Week events celebrating classic children's literature and storybook characters.
How do I style the hair to match Dorothy's look?
Braid your hair into two low pigtails and tie each with one of the included blue satin bows. If your hair is short or you prefer a wig, look for a shoulder-length brown wig styled in braids — widely available at costume accessory shops.
What's the fabric like, and how should I care for it?
The pinafore and skirt are printed polyester (gingham check), with white cotton-blend fabric for the mock blouse and sleeves. Spot clean or gentle hand wash in cold water, then hang to dry. Avoid machine washing to preserve the lace trim and satin bows.
Care: Spot clean or hand wash cold, hang dry flat.
