A full-length front zip over a mesh panel, patch pockets at the hip, and a belt at the waist. Long sleeves and a short hem, so it reads as an outfit you can walk in rather than a costume you only stand still in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront zip over a mesh panel\u003c\/strong\u003e - you set the neckline, and the mesh still shows underneath\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePatch pockets at the hip\u003c\/strong\u003e - carry the lettering and break up a straight mini\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBelt at the waist\u003c\/strong\u003e - gives the middle a line instead of a blank zip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLong sleeves\u003c\/strong\u003e - cover the arms so the short hem is not the only story\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign Details and Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMesh under the zip\u003c\/strong\u003e - lets a hint of skin show without the zip sitting wide open\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLettering on the pockets\u003c\/strong\u003e - puts the costume theme on the hip, not only on a clip-on badge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pockets are the reason to pick this over a plain zip mini. A straight black piece can look unfinished at the hip; patch pockets with lettering give the eye somewhere to land and carry the police theme without a separate badge. Worth knowing before you order: a baton in some shots is a styling extra, not part of the set. The hem is also short. If you want a knee-length uniform, this isn't that costume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFit and Coverage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a close-fitting mini with long sleeves, a front zip and a belted waist, so coverage is full through the body and low at the hem. Compare your measurements to our size chart before you order, and if you're between sizes, size up. Fit shifts a little with torso length, and that extra bit of room tends to sit better than going too snug.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFabric and Care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a smooth, leather-look fabric with a sheer mesh panel under the zip; we don't get a fibre breakdown, so we won't guess one for you. We'd suggest a gentle hand wash in cool water and laying it flat to dry, away from direct heat, which keeps the shape and finish intact for longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStyling Tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLet the zip sit where you want it - the mesh is there so you do not have to open it wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnee-high boots to continue the line from the hem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep other hip bags off so the patch pockets stay the only detail there\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails You'll Love\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou get the lettering already on the pockets. That's the part a plain zip mini leaves you to pin on, and it is what makes this one look like a costume when you put it on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Questions Answered\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size patch pocket police costume should I order?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCheck the bust and waist against our size chart, and if you're between sizes, take the larger one so the zip and the belt aren't sitting tight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is it made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's a leather-look fabric with a sheer mesh under the zip.
