Baby fancy dress costumes

Choosing the first costume

Baby fancy dress is both about the character and the construction. Choose from adorable seasonal body suits and bibs for the day, to spooky sleepsuits and pyjamas for the nights, or even pick up a pumpkin rint puddlesuit for those autumn adventures. Soft-touch fabrics and flat seams are essential to prevent irritation, especially if they’ll be wearing the costume for more than a quick photo this Halloween.

Practicality and comfort

A good baby costume shouldn't make a nappy change difficult. Look for styles with popper fastenings along the inner leg or wide-opening necklines. If you’re heading to a party, choose breathable cotton-rich materials to prevent overheating, or opt for a tabard style that can be easily slipped over their normal clothes if they get restless.
