Kids Skeleton Dress – Printed Ribcage Bodice with Layered Tulle Skirt

Kids Skeleton Dress – Spooky Enough for the Street, Cheerful Enough for School

A dress with a ribcage print running across the bodice and sleeves, over a skirt made of several layers of tulle. The sleeves are long, which counts for something on an evening in October. The knit has some give and the dress pulls on over the head.

Why choose this kids skeleton dress?

Children's costumes tend to land either too frightening or too tame. This one sits between the two: the skeleton is clearly there, and the tulle skirt turns it into a party dress. That means it works for the doorstep round and for the school parade.

• Ribcage print — carries across the bodice and sleeves and continues around the back.
• Layered tulle skirt — gives volume without adding weight to the dress.
• Long sleeves — arms stay covered on a cool evening outdoors.
• Stretch knit — goes on and off over the head with no zip or buttons.
• Closed design — no sheer panels, so it passes for school as easily as for the street.

One dress that covers the whole week of Halloween.

The tulle skirt can go in the wash, but it holds its shape better if you dry it on a hanger. Choose the size by height; too roomy and the skirt starts to droop. A thin pair of leggings fits underneath for colder nights.
