Description
A floor-length teal princess gown from $101.09, in sizes 110cm to 160cm, with packages adding a long blonde wig, crown, star wand and a four-piece jewellery set. Buy the dress alone or build to the complete look.
Most princess costumes are cut short and bright and look like a costume from two metres away. This one is deliberately the opposite: an off-shoulder neckline, long sleeves with lace-trim cuffs, and a floor-length skirt in a deep teal that photographs like a gown rather than a dress-up outfit. It is lightweight polyester rather than heavy satin, which is what makes a full-length dress wearable through a parade, a class party and an afternoon of twirling instead of being taken off after twenty minutes.

Why Choose This Princess Gown
-
Full length, not a short costume dress - it reads as a gown in photographs, which is the difference parents notice at a parade.
-
Five ways to buy - dress alone, with the wig, with the accessories, everything, or just the wig if you already own a gown.
-
Lightweight for a floor-length dress - soft polyester rather than stiff satin, so it stays comfortable for a whole school day.
-
Sizes to 160cm - it fits older primary and early high school children, which most princess costumes do not.
-
Australian stock - dispatched locally within one business day.
How Do You Stop a Floor-Length Costume Dragging?
Order by height rather than age and put the child in shoes with a small heel or a thick sole. A gown cut to 130cm is designed to sit just above the floor on a 130cm child in flat shoes, which means barefoot or in thin sandals it drags and gets stepped on. If the dress is slightly long, a row of safety pins along the inside hem takes up several centimetres invisibly and comes out later. For a parade where the child is walking on asphalt, that ten minutes of pinning is what stops the hem being ruined by the end of the morning.
Is a Costume Wig Worth Buying for a Child?
For photographs yes, for a full school day often not. A wig transforms the look more than any other accessory, and it is what makes a costume recognisable rather than generic. It is also hot, itchy after a couple of hours, and the first thing a child takes off. The approach that works is to treat it as a photo accessory: put it on for the parade and the pictures, and let it come off afterwards. If you buy one, secure it with two bobby pins at the temples, and put the child's own hair in a low bun or flat braids underneath so it sits properly.
What Shoes and Accessories Suit a Princess Costume?
Plain white or silver flats, and nothing new. School parades involve more standing and walking than anyone plans for, and a costume shoe bought the day before is a guaranteed blister. Silver or white sneakers under a long gown are almost invisible and infinitely more comfortable. For accessories, less is more: a crown and one piece of jewellery reads as deliberate, while a crown, necklace, bracelet, earrings and wand together reads as a dress-up box. Keep the wand for photographs and leave it in the bag for the rest of the day.
Who Buys These
Parents of girls between about five and twelve, buying for Book Week, a Halloween party or a birthday where the child has chosen a princess theme. The larger sizes get bought for older children who have outgrown standard costume ranges, and the wig-only option sells on its own to parents who already own a gown and want the finished look for photographs.
Pair It With
For a different look in the same size range, the island princess dress and the gingham pinafore costume both cover Book Week and Halloween. Add face paint for the finishing detail, or a 3-layer tutu skirt to build a second costume from the same box.
Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes are available?
110, 120, 130, 140, 150 and 160cm, covering heights from about 100cm to 160cm. The wig is one size.
What is in the accessory set?
A four-piece set with the crown, star wand and jewellery, included in the Dress + Accessory Set packages.
Is the wig included in every package?
No. It comes with Dress + Wig and Dress + Accessory Set + Wig, and is sold on its own as Wig Only.
How should I choose the size?
Measure the child's height in centimetres and match it. A floor-length gown looks wrong if you size up too far.
Is the dress heavy?
No. It is soft lightweight polyester, chosen so a full-length gown is still wearable for a whole day.
Can it be washed?
Hand wash cold and hang to dry. Do not machine wash, as the lace trim and the colour will not survive a hot cycle.
How quickly does it ship?
Stock is held in Australia and orders are prepared within one business day, with express available at checkout.
Fast Australian Shipping
Stocked and shipped from Australia, with delivery to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, Canberra and Darwin as well as regional addresses. Orders are prepared within one business day, and express delivery is available at checkout if the parade is close.
