Girls Racing Driver Dress

Not every girl wants a tutu. This Girls Racing Driver Dress takes the racing-suit look - bold red, sporty panelling - and cuts it as a long-sleeve dress, which is far easier to wear for a whole evening than a full zip-up jumpsuit.

It is made from a cotton blend with polyester and a softened fabric treatment, so it does not scratch at the neck the way stiffer costume fabric does. Sizing is by height: 110, 120, 130, 140 and 150cm. Bust measurements run 62cm to 78cm, waists 58cm to 74cm and dress lengths 55cm to 71cm across the range, with long sleeves throughout. Long sleeves are the practical part here - it holds up on a cold night without a coat over the top.

SpookHaus picks girls costumes that get worn again for sports day, book day and birthdays rather than being retired on 1 November. Order early to lock in the right height before the season rush. Adult supervision required.
