Picture your child walking into the classroom as the King of Hearts - red cape swishing, crown gleaming, playing card symbols running down the front. This Kids King of Hearts Costume brings the classic playing card character to life with a knee-length tunic, matching cape, and proper crown. Made from satin-look polyester with printed card suits (hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades) across the chest, it's got that storybook-royalty look sorted.

What's in the Box

• Red tunic with permanently attached decorative vest overlay featuring all four card suits in vertical strips
• Matching red cape with white zigzag hem trim and tie closure
• Crown with card suit symbols, gold diamond accents, and adjustable band

Perfect for Book Week as the King of Hearts from fairytale storybook, school dress-up days, casino-themed class parties, or any storybook character parade. Also brilliant for school plays - the Wonderland queen and king roles are classroom classics. One parent told us her son wore this for a Book Week card-game themed day and the teacher used him in every class photo.

Parent FAQs

What size should I order?

The tunic is knee-length on most kids and has a straight cut that's pretty forgiving. The crown has an adjustable elastic band at the back. If your child is between sizes or on the taller side, we'd say size up - the tunic can run a touch short in the body on lankier frames.

Can they wear this over regular clothes?

Yes - the tunic slips on over a regular t-shirt and pants (black or dark trousers work best to match the card-king look). The long sleeves mean they'll be warm enough even if the classroom's freezing. Cape ties on separately so they can ditch it during lunch if it gets in the way.

Care: Spot clean or gentle hand wash, hang to dry. The printed card suits are heat-transferred so avoid hot irons directly on the design.
