What's in the Box

• Tan belted shirt-dress with button-front and pointed blue collar
• Sage green ribbed leg warmers
• Signature thick eyebrow piece

This Kids Miss Trunchbull Costume brings Roald Dahl's most formidable headmistress to life — belted tan dress with the character's signature pointed blue collar, matching leg warmers, and that unmistakable thick eyebrow. Official licensed Roald Dahl costume, sized for Book Week confidence.

The dress captures Miss Trunchbull's no-nonsense silhouette: button-front placket running full-length, fitted waist with a belt stamped with Roald Dahl branding, and a wide blue collar with black brooch detail at the V. Sage green leg warmers slouch naturally for that PE-teacher energy. The eyebrow piece sits across the forehead — instant villain transformation, no makeup needed.

Perfect For

Book Week & Literature Days: A standout pick for Matilda parades, Roald Dahl character days, or any school dress-up event celebrating British children's literature.

Theatrical Productions: Ideal for school plays of Matilda the Musical, drama club showcases, or end-of-year concerts where kids perform classic book scenes.

Dress-Up Play at Home: Perfect for re-enacting chocolate cake scenes, hammer-throw drills, or "Get out of my school!" moments with siblings or friends.

How to Wear It

Pair with black school shoes (not included) and slick hair back into a severe bun for the full headmistress effect. The eyebrow sits across the forehead above natural brows — practice your sternest glare in the mirror before the big day.

Parent FAQs

What size should I order?

Check the size chart for chest and length measurements. The dress runs true to size with elastic gathering at the back waist for some flex. If your child is between sizes, go up for a comfortable fit over school clothes.

Can they wear this over regular clothes?

Yes — the dress works as an over-layer on cooler days. Pair with dark leggings or tights underneath if needed, and the leg warmers go straight over socks and shoes.

How do I attach the eyebrow? Is it reusable?

The eyebrow piece typically uses elastic or adhesive tabs (check packaging on arrival). It's reusable for multiple wears — just store it flat after the event so it keeps its shape.

Is this suitable for World Book Day at school?

Absolutely. Matilda is a Book Week classic, and Miss Trunchbull is instantly recognisable to kids and teachers alike. No wig required, easy to put on, and the character fits the literary theme perfectly.

Care: Hand wash cold, hang to dry. Press collar flat with a cool iron if needed.
