What's in the Box

• Long purple tailcoat jacket with attached candy-print waistcoat front
• Large satin gold bow tie
• Brown velour top hat with ribbon band

This Kids Willy Wonka Costume brings the whimsical chocolatier from Roald Dahl's classic straight to Book Week. The deluxe purple tailcoat has integrated candy-print waistcoat detailing and knee-length tails for that Victorian eccentric silhouette kids recognise instantly.

Rich purple twill jacket with oversized gold satin bow tie and structured velour top hat—three standout pieces that photograph beautifully. The attached waistcoat panel features printed candy and clover motifs with faux gold button details, saving parents the hassle of layering separate garments. Comfortable cotton-blend construction means your child can wear this through a full school day without overheating.

Perfect For

Book Week & Literature Days: A natural pick for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory parades, Roald Dahl author studies, or any storybook character event—instantly recognisable and beloved by teachers.

School Theatrical Productions: Ideal for drama class performances, kindy concerts, end-of-year musicals, or classroom re-enactments of the golden ticket story.

Themed Birthday Parties & Dress-Up Play: Works beautifully for candy-themed parties, imaginative play at home, or Halloween trick-or-treating with a literary twist.

How to Wear It

Pair with black pants and black shoes to complete the chocolatier look—these basics let the purple coat and top hat do the talking. A curly blonde wig (available separately) adds the final flourish, though the costume stands strong without it.

Parent FAQs

What size should I order?

Check the size chart for chest and height measurements—this costume runs generous through the torso to accommodate the layered waistcoat look, so if your child is between sizes you can safely size down.

Can they wear this over regular clothes?

Yes—the jacket slips on over a plain long-sleeve top, and the bow tie fastens with elastic at the back. Easy on, easy off for busy mornings.

How do I wash this? Is the fabric durable?

Spot-clean the jacket and top hat with a damp cloth; hand-wash the bow tie if needed. The purple twill and velour hold up well to gentle handling—this is a costume built for multiple wears.

Is this suitable for outdoor Book Week parades?

Absolutely—the cotton-blend jacket breathes well, and the tailcoat design looks impressive from every angle. Just add sunscreen and comfortable shoes for playground comfort.

Care: Spot-clean jacket and hat; hand-wash bow tie separately.
