A Little Red Riding Hood costume consists of a dress with a bodice and skirt, complemented by a red cape or hooded capelet. In this collection, we dress women, men, and girls: for women, the styles range from classic to luxurious, from checkered skirts to bloody versions, while for children, there are dresses with a cape and hood, and one drag queen version with a blouse, corset, skirt with apron, and hooded cloak. The entire range falls under the fairy tale costume category, where this section stands out because the red hood is always part of the outfit.
Which Little Red Riding Hood dress is right for which party?
- For carnival and costume parties, there are classic sets with a dress and cape, such as Milou, Brianne, and Lisa, and a luxurious women's costume with a cape, hat, and dress.
- For Halloween or a spooky party, there are zombie versions: a red dress with a black corset section, red lace-up detailing, and a white apron with blood splatters, including white stockings with bows.
- For a children's party or school event, choose a girls' style with a skirt, apron, and separate hooded capelet that fastens with Velcro at the neck.
- For a group theme based on the fairy tale, there is also a grandmother costume with a skirt, overskirt, shawl, and floral headscarf.
- If you only want the red hood, there is a separate red cape measuring 80 cm long.
Long style or short dress with lace-up detailing: which should you choose?
First, choose based on length and fastening, as this is where the styles differ most. Some dresses have the cape attached to the bodice, so you don't have to fasten anything, while other sets have a separate cape or capelet that you can quickly take off if it gets warm. For the children's styles, choose based on body length rather than age: the range goes from 98 and 104 cm for the smallest children to 158 cm for the tallest girls, and women's sizes range from XS to XXL, depending on the style. Also pay attention to the finish: a red-and-white checkered skirt with lace trim gives a wholesome fairy tale look, while a black corset section with lace-up detailing and a scalloped hem creates a tougher or grimmer effect. Several costumes are labeled for hand washing, so keep that in mind if you want to wear the outfit more than once.
The red cape and braids that complete your Little Red Riding Hood costume
The red hood is the element that makes your outfit instantly recognizable, and if your dress does not come with one, choose one from the Little Red Riding Hood cape collection. Braids also suit the look, so for those who cannot braid their own hair, a style from the Little Red Riding Hood wig collection is the easiest option. If you are dressing up with one or more others, someone can play the antagonist in the Big Bad Wolf costume. White knee socks and black shoes complete the look.
