Oompa Loompa Costume Kids Willy Wonka Costume Charlie Chocolate Factory Book Week

Description

This Oompa Loompa costume and Willy Wonka costume range lets your child step straight into Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, with four separate options so you can dress the factory owner, a factory worker, a chocolate bar or just add the signature orange wig.

Roald Dahl's chocolate factory is one of the most requested Book Week themes in Australia every August, and it is a theme that works for a single child or a whole group. Pick the purple tailcoat and orange top hat for the eccentric chocolatier, the brown top with white cross braces and striped socks for a factory worker, or the printed chocolate bar wrapper dress for a sweeter take on the story. Each option is sold separately, so you can build exactly the look your child has in mind.

Choose Your Costume Option

Size Guide

Sizing tip: Choose by your child's height rather than their age, as heights vary widely within the same school year. If your child sits between two sizes, size up. The tailcoat and the worker top both wear comfortably with a little room, and a slightly longer sleeve is easier to manage than a costume that pulls across the shoulders.

Why Parents Choose This Willy Wonka Costume

• Four looks, one listing — dress the chocolatier, a worker, a chocolate bar or add the wig, without hunting across four different products.
• Complete sets, not single pieces — the owner set arrives with hat, tailcoat, shirt front, bow tie and trousers, so there is nothing left to source the night before.
• Instantly recognisable — the purple and orange colour story and the striped worker look read as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory from across a school hall.
• Sized by height — four sizes covering roughly 3 to 12 years take the guesswork out of ordering.
• Group-friendly — siblings, friends or a whole class can mix owner, workers and a chocolate bar for a full factory scene.

Fabric & Care

The clothing pieces are made from a comfortable polyester blend, and the wig is made from synthetic fibre. Hand wash the garments in cold water and hang to dry in the shade. Do not bleach. The top hat should be spot cleaned only rather than washed. If pressing is needed, use a cool iron on the reverse side. Shoes are not included with any option.

Book Week and Party Styling Ideas

For the factory owner, finish the look with a walking cane or a rolled golden ticket, and let the orange top hat sit slightly back on the head so your child's face stays visible in photos. The worker set is at its best with the orange curly wig added, which is why we sell the wig separately, and a touch of orange face colour if your school allows it. The chocolate bar wrapper dress pairs neatly with plain brown or white leggings and simple sneakers, and a small foil-wrapped prop bar makes the concept unmistakable. If you are dressing a group, one owner surrounded by three or four wigged workers is the arrangement that photographs best and always lands well at a Book Week parade.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the orange wig included with the costume sets?
No. The orange curly wig is a separate option in the dropdown. If you want a worker set with the wig, add both to your cart.

Which option is the Oompa Loompa costume?
The Chocolate Factory Worker Set is the Oompa Loompa look, with the brown top, white cross braces, white trousers, striped collar and black and white striped socks. Add the orange curly wig to complete it.

What size should I order?
Order by height. S fits 100 to 115 cm, M fits 115 to 125 cm, L fits 125 to 135 cm and XL fits 135 to 150 cm. Size up if your child is between sizes.

Are shoes included?
No. Shoes are not supplied with any option. Plain black or brown shoes suit the owner and worker sets, and simple sneakers work with the chocolate bar dress.

How do I wash it?
Hand wash the clothing in cold water and hang to dry in the shade. Do not bleach, spot clean the top hat only, and use a cool iron on the reverse if pressing is needed.
