Storied. Complete. A ribbon lace-up bodice sits at the centre of this look, with a small bow marking the front and a sheer tulle mini skirt trimmed in matching ribbon flaring out below. Elbow-length gloves and a bow headband round out the set, so the whole character arrives in one box rather than being pieced together from separate listings. Ribbon lace-up bodice - crisscross detail at the front panel Sheer tulle mini skirt - layered netting with a ribbon-trimmed hem Matching elbow gloves - complete the storybook silhouette Bow headband accessory - a coordinating finishing piece Adjustable bodice straps - set the fit through the shoulders Ribbon bow accent - marks the centre front of the bodice\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy It Belongs in Your Wardrobe\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStorybook costumes tend to fall apart the moment you check for accessories, and this one solves that before you even open the box. The gloves and headband arrive with the bodice and skirt, so there's no last-minute scramble to find a matching pair of opera gloves or the right shade of ribbon. The lace-up front gives the bodice a bit more visual texture than a flat panel, and the tulle skirt has enough layers to hold its shape rather than falling flat against the leg. It works equally well for a costume party, a themed shoot, or a private evening built around a favourite character, and because every piece coordinates by design, you spend your prep time on hair and makeup instead of hunting down loose accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026amp;amp; Benefits Crisscross ribbon lacing: adds dimension to the bodice front instead of a plain seam. Layered tulle construction: gives the skirt volume without added weight. Ribbon-trimmed hemline: finishes the tulle edge so it doesn't fray with wear. Matching glove length: elbow coverage keeps the arms part of the overall silhouette. Coordinated headband bow: ties the accessories to the bodice's own ribbon detail. Set-based sizing: the bodice, skirt, gloves, and headband are cut to work together. Fit \u0026amp;amp; Comfort The bodice has stretch through the body with adjustable straps, so you can set the shoulder fit before the skirt goes on. The tulle skirt sits at the natural waist and stays light against the leg even with several layers of netting. Gloves have a touch of stretch through the forearm for an easy slide-on fit, and the headband uses a simple comb-back closure that stays put through a full evening of moving around.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStyle Story\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStorybook and fairytale costumes have stayed a steady favourite because the source character is instantly recognisable without needing an elaborate explanation. This version leans into that recognisability with the ribbon and tulle combination rather than an overly literal recreation, which keeps the look wearable beyond a single themed night. The lace-up bodice detail is a small nod to current costume design trends, where structured lacing has replaced the plainer elastic panels seen in older versions of the same character costume. Fabric \u0026amp;amp; Care The bodice is a stretch knit with a satin ribbon lace-up front, and the skirt is a layered polyester tulle with a ribbon-bound hem. Gloves are a soft stretch fabric, and the headband uses a wired bow shape. Hand wash cold and lay flat to dry to keep the tulle layers from crushing, and avoid wringing the bodice ribbon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStyling Tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePut the headband on first so your hair sits the way you want before the rest of the look goes on. Keep the gloves for the final step so makeup doesn't transfer onto the fabric. A pair of simple mary-jane style shoes keeps the overall silhouette in character. Light red lip colour pulls the ribbon trim into your makeup without overdoing it. Try the tulle skirt's fall in front of a mirror before deciding on final hair styling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat Shoppers Notice Most\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuyers consistently mention how complete the set feels straight out of the box, with the gloves and headband saving them a separate shopping trip. The tulle skirt gets called out for holding its volume rather than going flat after the first wear, and the lace-up bodice front is noted as a nicer detail than the plain bodices seen on similar costumes. Several reviews mention the ribbon trim matching well across all four pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Questions Answered\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eQ: What size should I order?

A: Yes, both accessories come with the bodice and skirt as one set. Q: Does the tulle skirt feel scratchy? A: No, the netting is soft against the skin with a smooth ribbon-bound hem. Q: Can the bodice be worn on its own? A: Yes, though it's designed to pair with the included skirt for the full look. Q: What occasions suit this costume?

Add it to your basket and let the ribbon and tulle do the rest.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lingerie Hut","offers":[{"title":"01 \/ 4XL","offer_id":57257578201468,"sku":"1005009287066988-01-4XL","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/4729\/5786\/files\/lingeriehut-fairytale-costume-ribbon-lace-up-bodice-storybook-charm-439.webp?v=1786102909","url":"https:\/\/lingeriehut.co.uk\/products\/fairytale-costume-with-ribbon-lace-up-bodice-storybook-charm","provider":"Lingerie Hut","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
