This is the maker's own chart for this range, and it runs a size larger than the sizing on most of our other costumes — their L is a 42-44in chest, not 40-42in. Measure your chest over the clothes you plan to wear underneath and read it against this table rather than going by the letter on the label.

Description

The Cat in the Hat, grown up. An officially licensed printed jumpsuit with the red bow tie already attached, and the striped stovepipe hat that does most of the work.

What's in the pack

  • Printed jumpsuit with attached bow tie
  • Red and white striped tall hat

Sizing & fit

Sized by chest measurement and cut unisex, so it works for men and women. Costume sizing runs slightly small against UK high street sizing — if you are between sizes, or plan to wear layers underneath, size up.

Available sizes: Medium (chest 38-40in), Large (chest 42-44in). See the full size guide on this page before ordering.

Styling it

White face paint, a black nose and drawn-on whiskers. Take a friend as Thing 1 and Thing 2 and you have a group costume sorted.

Care

Hand wash cold, do not bleach, do not tumble dry, do not iron printed or glued areas. Most costumes are made from lightweight polyester and are not designed for repeated washing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included?

Printed jumpsuit with attached bow tie; Red and white striped tall hat. Anything else in the photograph — wig, make-up, shoes, props — is sold separately.

The sizes seem small — should I order up?

Probably, yes. Costume sizing follows European measurements and runs roughly one UK size smaller than high street clothing. Check the size guide on this page against your actual measurements rather than the size you normally buy, and if you fall between two sizes take the larger one. Costumes are cut for a single evening, not for tailoring.

Can I wash it?

Gently, and by hand. Costumes are made from lightweight polyester with printed and glued details that do not survive a washing machine. Hand wash cold, do not bleach, do not tumble dry and keep the iron away from any printed panels. Spot cleaning is usually enough.

Is this costume fire-safe?

All of our costumes are made to the toy safety standards required for sale in the UK and carry the appropriate labelling. That said, no costume is fireproof. Keep well away from candles, pumpkin lights, open fires and cookers, and never leave a child in a costume unsupervised near a naked flame. If you are lighting a pumpkin, use an LED tealight.

Will it last more than one night?

Yes, with reasonable care. These are proper costumes rather than disposable ones, and most of our customers get two or three Halloweens out of them before children outgrow them. Hang it up rather than leaving it in a bag, and keep any mask or accessory in the original box.

How quickly will my order arrive?

Order before 3pm Monday to Friday and we dispatch the same day. Standard UK delivery is 2-3 working days and free on orders over £40. Next-day delivery is available at checkout up to 3pm. In the week running up to Halloween we recommend ordering by the Monday to be safe — couriers get very busy and we would rather you had it early.

Can I return it if it doesn't fit?

Yes. You have 30 days from delivery to send anything back, provided it is unworn and still has its tags and original packaging. Start the return at fancydressclub.co.uk/returns and we will email you a label. For hygiene reasons we cannot accept returns on wigs, fangs, cosmetics, prosthetics or hosiery once the packaging has been opened.
