Step into the chocolate factory boss role this World Book Day with a costume set that builds the whole look in one order — nothing else needed to complete the character, from the coat down to the cane.
- The costume: a purple coat with a structured collar, cut in a regular fit from a woven polyester fabric with long sleeves, worn over a candy-print waistcoat that fastens at the front, with a gold bow tie already sewn to the waistcoat collar rather than packed as a loose extra.
- The look: a black felt top hat and a brown bob wig frame the face straight out of the bag, finished with a pair of retro white glasses.
- The finishing touches: white gloves and a gold-top dancing cane complete the outfit, so there is nothing left to source separately.
Both the coat and the waistcoat fasten simply at the front rather than relying on laces or a long row of buttons, so getting into character takes moments rather than a full costume change, and the sewn-in bow tie means there is no separate tie to lose before the big day.
Perfect for:
- World Book Day and book character parades
- Themed office and workplace days
- Fancy dress parties and decade nights
- Stag and hen dos
