Today, we celebrate the Victorian era with our fancy dress theme. Just a couple of days ago we were talking about making a first impression and 
today we head off at a slightly different tangent by celebrating the birth of the French impressionist painter Jean Auguste Renoir, who was born on February 25th 1841, i.e. 170 years ago. He was one of the early advocates of the impressionist style and his vibrant portraits reflect the costumes and social history of the Victorian and Edwardian era. The Victorian era in particular, is one we are often asked for, particularly in connection with the school curriculum, where we have costumes for both poor and rich Victorian children.
We recently designed a range of school curriculum costumes including costumes for boys and girls for the Victorian era. They have proved to be very popular for use for dress up days at school.
The girls Victorian costumes include:
- Dress with an elasticated waistband
- Pinafore
- Mop Cap
The boys Victorian Costumes include:
- Top
- Waistcoat
- Long Shorts
- Cap
- Neck Tie
We also stock a Rich girls Victorian costume and a pinafore and mop cap set – ideal if you have a dress that you can use already at home. We also offer a waistcoat and cap set for the boys as well as a budget range of Victorian girls & Boys costumes.
