International Fancy Dress and Costumes

International Fancy Dress and Costumes

International fancy dress and around the world costumes both mean the same shelf: a look built around a country, a national team or a world celebration rather than a person. It sits inside our wider costume themes range, and runs from a national bobsled team suit to Oktoberfest, St Patrick's Day, ancient Rome and the Wild West.

We've kept every pick to flags, national teams, festivals and history rather than a real person or an ethnicity, so an international day at school stays fun without turning someone's identity into fancy dress.

Sizing and What's Included

Sizing runs by UK dress size for the women's pieces, by chest size for the men's, and by age for kids: check each product's own size guide before ordering. Every design is measured across 30+ points by garment techs trained in tailoring. All of our kids' products are safety tested by accredited labs.

For a team-colours look, the Jamaican Bobsleigh Team Morphsuit is a four-way stretch, double-zip suit with its own helmet, in sizes L and XL, roughly 5'8" to 6'2".

Heading to Oktoberfest? The Womens Traditional Oktoberfest Dirndl Costume is a green and brown dirndl dress with a rose pattern, sized by UK dress size from Small (8 to 10) to X-Large (20 to 22).

The Leprechaun Piggyback Costume gives the illusion of a little visitor riding on your back, one size fits most, with the legs stuffed to suit your own build.

The Womens Striped Wanderer Costume covers the traveller end with a red and white striped top, a blue skirt, striped stockings, a bobble hat and round glasses, sized S (8 to 10) to XL (20 to 22).

For the youngest historian in the group, the Kids Roman Toga Costume is a white tunic with a red draped sash, a gold belt and gold arm cuffs, in four sizes covering ages 4 to 14.

The Western Sheriff Costume Mens layers a black jacket and pinstriped vest over a bib with a necktie, and adds a cowboy hat and two holsters, sized M to XXL.

The fabric pieces above are a cold hand wash and an air dry, never a machine; store hats, holsters and other add-ons separately to keep their shape.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I wear for an international day at school?

Anything that reads as one country or one team at a glance works. The Jamaican Bobsleigh Team Morphsuit pulls on with its helmet ready to go, the Oktoberfest dirndl is one dress and a petticoat, and the Roman toga covers ages 4 to 14 for a younger child.

What sizes do international costumes come in?

It depends on the piece: women's UK dress sizes Small to X-Large, men's M to XXL by chest, the bobsled suit in L and XL, and the kids' toga across four sizes, age 4 to 14.

What counts as international fancy dress?

Any costume built around a country, a national team, a festival or a period of history, rather than a copy of a real person. That covers everything here, from a bobsled suit to a Roman toga.

Can I wear international fancy dress for something other than a themed party?

Yes. This range works just as well for Halloween, carnival, a stag or hen do, or a fancy dress evening on a trip abroad as it does for a one-off school day.

Do you have international fancy dress for men, women and kids?

Yes. The Western Sheriff Costume is menswear, the Jamaican Bobsleigh Morphsuit is unisex, the Oktoberfest dirndl and the Striped Wanderer are womenswear, and the Roman toga is our kids' pick in this range.
