Why We Like This Product (YPC Team Review)
At YPC, we love fairytale costumes that don’t feel like they’re from the kids’ section – and this one nails it. The lace-up detail adds instant shape to the waist, and the petticoat gives it that bounce and flair that photographs beautifully. We wore it to a themed hen night and got compliments all night long. The hooded cape is the cherry on top – cosy, cute, and perfect for making a dramatic entrance.

Tips on How to Use It Correctly
Style It Up: Add white thigh-highs, a mini basket, or a toy wolf for extra character flair.
Layer Smart: If you’re outdoors, wear black thermal tights underneath for warmth.
Securing the Cape: Use fashion tape or a small pin if you want the cape to stay perfectly centred.
Undergarment Tip: The dress works best with a strapless or plunge bra for a smooth finish.
Washing Instructions: Spot clean or gentle hand wash only – avoid tumble drying to protect the petticoat shape.
