Best-Selling Fancy Dress Outfits for Infants, Teens & Everything in Between
Kids' pop culture trends change so quickly, it's hard to keep up - particularly if you've got children in different age groups, or a boy/girl combination with the resultant clash in interests. Whether you've got a little princess, a budding muscle man or an oh-so-cool tweenager, Blossom can help take the pain out of choosing a costume for your young ladies and gents.
Presenting our list of children fancy dress costume favourites:
Favourite Dress Ups for Girls
For young girls, we have one word: Frozen.
Taking out the box offices and the hearts of children (and, admittedly, adults) everywhere in 2013, Frozen has continued to hold attention this year. With all the makings of a timeless Disney classic - naïveté, hope, good guys, bad guys, deceit, and of course, true love - Frozen is proving that the second generation of Disney princesses hold their own against the original childhood staples.
Everyone wants to be Elsa, and this generation-wide yearning is reflected in our range of dress up costumes for young girls. With a whole range of Elsa costumes to buy, as well as accessories such as crowns, wands & blonde plaited Elsa hair extensions, your little princess can dress just like her favourite Frozen character. We also have a range of Anna costumes, for those with a soft spot for the brunette hero of our Frozen tale.
Disclaimer: you may experience some difficulty getting your child to take their costume off come bedtime.
Favourite Fancy Dress Costumes for Boys
The time has come to answer the age-old question: is your little guy more of a turtle ninja, or a regular ninja?
With ninja movies having surged in popularity in the 1980s, becoming a ninja has stayed right up at the tippy top of every young boy's dream `job' list ever since. Ninja movies have become an essential part of our contemporary pop culture canon, glorifying ninjas of all shapes, sizes... and species.
Enter TMNT (or `Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,' for those not in the know). These half-shell heroes were incredibly popular throughout the 1990s, and made a long-awaited comeback in 2014 with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle blockbuster movie.
If your young man didn't want to be a ninja before, he sure does now.
Blossom can help you make his dreams reality, with our extensive selection of wish-fulfilling boys' costumes. We stock a full range of ninja costumes for toddlers, boys, teens and turtles that are packed full to the brim with satisfaction.
Favourite Dress Ups for Toddlers & Infants
The only thing cuter than tiny little humans and furry baby animals is a tiny little human dressed like a furry baby animal.
So, the answer to your question is onesies. Tiny little animal onesies tick all the boxes for your infant costume needs. An animal onesie means less pieces of clothing for you to struggle your child into, enhanced cushioning for an added level of protection against bruises and bumps, and just about the most adorable little package you've ever laid eyes on.
Blossom's range of onesies for infants and toddlers spans animals great and small, real and fake. We've got lions, tigers, monkeys and pandas alongside dinosaurs and even Dorothy dinosaurs.
Just sit back and listen to the `Awwwwww's floating in your direction.
Favourite Costumes for Teens & Tweens
We've saved the most difficult task for last. Finding a fancy dress costume for your teenager or tweenager.
Given the speed with which trends come and go, and the capacity for embarrassment kids between the ages of approximately 12-17 tend to exhibit, deciding on a costume is hard.
The good news is, we're here to help.
From extensive research and hard-gained experience, we have come to know that Monster High is so hot right now. Or rather, hip, rad, bangin'... whatever the kids are saying these days.
(Kidding)
Monster High refers to a series of dolls made by American manufacturer Mattel, which take inspiration from monster movies, sci-fi, horror and thriller - so, quite unique from other fashion dolls on the market. The dolls have earned their popularity for, amongst other reasons, their use of horror puns. For instance, by referring to the female figures as `ghouls' rather than `girls.'
All of the female characters within the Monster High franchise live in the fictional town of New Salem, and attend a school for monsters called Monster High. The style of dress worn is part rockabilly, part punk, and has inspired a copycat style of dress in teenagers over the world.
Blossom Costumes has a full range of teenage fancy dress costumes that take inspiration from Monster High. Our selection represents a full range of Monster High characters - so all you need to do is ask your teenager their favourite, and get shopping.
