Turn your child into the boss of the chocolate factory with this boys' fancy dress costume, built for World Book Day, World Book Week and Roald Dahl Day. Every piece needed for the look is included, so there is nothing else to find before the big day — just the coat, the waistcoat, the bow tie and the hat, ready to go on together in moments.
- The coat: a deep purple coat with long sleeves and a tie-belt fastening, made from soft polyester for a smart, structured shape that holds up through a full day of school events.
- The look: a bright candy-print waistcoat with buttons worn underneath, plus a golden bow tie for the finishing formal touch that sells the factory-owner character.
- The finishing touch: an oversized hat with a contrast band completes the eccentric factory-boss silhouette and finishes the look from top to toe.
The coat's tie-belt fastening means it goes on and off in seconds, which matters on a school morning when there is a queue for the mirror and a bus to catch. Underneath, the candy-print waistcoat buttons over a shirt or T-shirt without needing anything else layered beneath it, so getting dressed for the part is genuinely quick.
Perfect for:
- World Book Day and World Book Week at school
- Roald Dahl Day celebrations
- Carnival and fancy dress parties
- School book character parades and assemblies
- Dressing-up days and birthday parties with a storybook theme

What's included:
- Purple coat with tie-belt fastening
- Candy-print waistcoat with buttons

Hand wash only, to keep the candy print sharp and the coat's colour true, so the costume is ready to come out again for the next World Book Day, Roald Dahl Day or carnival party rather than a single afternoon's wear.
