Description
This kids pop star costume is a seven piece 1980s stage performer outfit - sequin jacket, hat, glove, sunglasses, shirt, pants and ankle sleeves - in polyester, with an optional matching wig. It fits children from 105cm to 172cm tall and ships from Sydney. It suits Book Week, school concerts, dance competitions, talent shows and Halloween.
The thing that makes a stage costume work on a child is that it reads from the back of a hall. A sequin jacket does that better than almost anything - it catches every light in the room and turns a school assembly into a performance. What usually lets these outfits down is that a parent buys a jacket and then spends the week before the concert hunting for the hat, the glove and the sunglasses separately. A seven piece set removes that entirely: it arrives complete, and the only decision left is the size.

Why Choose a Complete Set
-
Seven pieces, one order - no hunting for a hat and a single glove in the week before the concert.
-
Sequins read from a distance - which is the whole point of a stage costume in a school hall or a competition venue.
-
Sized by height - 105cm to 172cm, so it covers primary school through to teenagers rather than a narrow age band.
-
Wig is optional - buy the set alone if your child has the hair for it, or add the wig for the full look.
-
Ships from Sydney - which matters when Book Week or a concert date is fixed and close.
What Is in the 7 Piece Set?
Jacket, hat, glove, sunglasses, shirt, pants and ankle sleeves. The jacket is the centrepiece and the sequin finish is what does the work under stage lighting. The ankle sleeves are the white cuffs worn over the sock at the bottom of the trouser leg - a small detail that most home-made versions miss and the one that makes the silhouette read correctly from the audience. The glove is a single glove, which is deliberate and correct for the look rather than a packing error.
How Do You Pick the Right Size for a Child?
Measure the child's height and match it to the range, rather than going by age. Children of the same age vary enormously and every one of these sizes is specified as a height band: M is 105-115cm, L is 120-130cm, XL is 130-142cm, 2XL is 145-160cm and 3XL is 165-172cm. If your child falls between two bands, take the larger one. A costume that is slightly loose can be belted, pinned or rolled at the cuff; one that is slightly tight cannot be fixed on the morning of the performance, and a jacket that will not do up over a shirt is the usual way this goes wrong.
Is This a Good Book Week Costume?
It works well for the music and performance side of Book Week, and for anything built around a biography, a music-themed book or a decades dress-up day. It is also one of the more practical choices for a school event because there is no mask, no weapon prop and nothing that obstructs a child's face or hands - which are the three things schools most often rule out. Worth knowing: Book Week is a genuinely large moment in the Australian school calendar, and demand for costumes concentrates into a short window, so ordering early is the difference between having a choice of sizes and taking what is left.
Buyers are typically parents preparing for Book Week or a school concert, dance schools and performing arts studios, families dressing up for a decades or 80s party, and anyone putting together a talent show act.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the wig included?
Only if you choose a "+ Wig" option. The set on its own does not include it, and the wig can also be bought by itself.
What is it made from?
Polyester throughout. Follow the care label - sequinned polyester generally wants a cold gentle wash or a wipe rather than a hot machine cycle.
Are shoes included?
No. You get the seven listed pieces only.
Will the sequins fall off?
Sequinned costume fabric will shed a few over time, particularly at the cuffs and hem. It is a dress-up garment rather than a stage-quality performance piece, so treat it gently between wears.
Is there an adult size?
No. The largest is 3XL at 165-172cm, which fits a tall teenager or a small adult, but this is a children's range.
Can I wash it?
Check the garment label. As a general rule, hand wash cold and hang to dry; do not tumble dry sequinned fabric.
How quickly does it ship?
It dispatches from Sydney, with express available at checkout. If you have a fixed performance date, choose express and order with a few days to spare.
