What's in the Box

• Dress with attached jacket
• Red gloves

This Kids Cruella Costume turns Book Week morning into a deliciously wicked entrance — black-and-white dalmatian spots, bright red accents, and that unmistakable evil-fashionista energy. The dress features an asymmetric colour-block design with a sleeveless black bodice and white-with-spots side panels that create an attached jacket illusion, finished with a red ruffle hem and satin bow at the waist.

Satin-finish polyester gives the dress a luxe sheen, while the spotted panels mimic classic dalmatian fur. The red elbow-length gloves add dramatic flair, and the high collar on the spotted sections nails the villain silhouette. Comfortable A-line cut means she can sit through assembly without fuss.

Perfect For

Book Week & Storybook Villains: A standout choice for classic villain dress-up days, fairytale antagonist parades, or any Book Week event celebrating iconic storybook baddies.

Halloween & Costume Parties: Bring the wicked fashionista to trick-or-treating, school Halloween discos, or themed birthday parties where villains steal the show.

Character Dress-Up Days: Perfect for kindy character parades, primary school themed days, or any event where your child wants to play the glamorous villain.

How to Wear It

Pair with white tights and black patent shoes for the full effect. A black-and-white wig (sold separately) completes the signature two-tone villain hair, but the costume stands strong on its own. Skip modern accessories — this look is all about dramatic simplicity.

Parent FAQs

Q: What size should I order?

Check the size chart image for chest and length measurements. The A-line cut gives a bit of room through the waist and hips, so if your child is between sizes we'd suggest going with her usual dress size. Returns are easy if the fit's not quite right.

Q: Is the wig included?

No — the black-and-white wig shown in the photos is sold separately. The costume includes the dress and red gloves only. Wigs and hair accessories are available in our Accessories section.

Q: Can she wear this over regular clothes, or is it warm enough for indoor events?

This is a dress-style costume designed to be worn as the main outfit, not over other clothes. For cold mornings, layer with white tights and a black long-sleeve top underneath if needed — the sleeveless cut allows for easy layering.

Q: How do I wash this? Will the spots fade or the red trim bleed?

Hand wash in cold water or gentle machine cycle in a garment bag. Air dry flat to keep the satin sheen intact. The spots are printed, not appliqué, so they won't peel, and the red trim is colour-fast if washed in cold.

Care: Hand wash cold, air dry flat. Gentle cycle in garment bag if machine washing.
