Size Guide

Go by height rather than by your child's age. These are the maker's own figures for this range and the bands are wide — the small covers 115cm to 128cm, which is a good three years of growing. Stand your child against a wall, measure to the top of their head, and pick the band their height falls in. If they are between bands, take the larger one, since costumes go on over normal clothes.

Description

The Cat in the Hat, straight off the page. An officially licensed printed jumpsuit with the red bow tie already attached, topped with that unmistakable red and white stovepipe hat.

What's in the pack

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

Sizing & fit

Children's costume sizing runs by age band and tends to come up slightly small. If your child is tall for their age, or will be wearing a jumper underneath on a cold morning, size up.

Available sizes: Small (age 4-6), Medium (age 7-9), Large (age 10-12). See the full size guide on this page before ordering.

Styling it

White face paint with a drawn-on nose and whiskers finishes it properly. Works even better alongside a Thing 1 and a Thing 2.

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.

More like this

One of the safest bets for World Book Day, and there is plenty more in our kids' costumes range. Finish the look with face paint or a hat.

Safety: Keep away from fire and all sources of ignition. This is a costume, not protective clothing. Adult supervision is recommended for children under 8.

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.

How do children's sizes work?

Children's costumes are sized by height in centimetres, not by age, because children of the same age vary enormously. Stand your child against a wall, measure to the top of their head, and pick the nearest size up. Remember they will almost certainly be wearing a jumper underneath on a cold October evening.

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.
