Black children's slip dress Jessy

The black Jessy children's slip jacket is a black children's jacket with short front panels and two long tails at the back, with lapels and two buttons on the front.

Why do children wear a tailcoat during Carnival?

The tailcoat originated in nineteenth-century men's and evening wear and later became the signature jacket of the master of ceremonies, the Carnival prince and the magician. This versatility makes it practical: with the same black jacket, you can play a distinguished gentleman, a circus director or a guest at a farm wedding. It also stands out from a distance in the parade, as the tails move with every step. Since it has no print, the rest of the outfit determines the role.

The tailcoat at a party or in the parade

For a distinguished look, choose black trousers and a white shirt, and add a bow tie. A top hat completes the look instantly and also keeps the head warm during an outdoor parade. White gloves and a wide belt in a bright colour provide contrast against the black. For an evening out, the same jacket works over a simple outfit, so your child can move easily on the dance floor.

If you are looking for a black Jessy children's tailcoat for Carnival or the parade, choose the size based on height and complete the role with a hat and bow tie.
