Thanks to our placement student Julia, we have some amazing vintage photos to share of fancy dress costumes through the last few decades. Fascinating, as we had underestimated just how long children have been dressing up in the same themed costumes that we are selling today!
As our special offer for September focuses on our best selling Fairy Bug Costumes range, we have been especially interested in looking at the vintage Bee, Butterfly, Ladybird and Dragonfly costumes.
These little Bees don’t look very happy in their Bee costumes!


Not quite as extravagant as a Frilly Lily Bee Outfit, with our very full skirts and layers of net – which would certainly have only been for the very wealthy in the 1900’s. It looks like our own little Bee is having much more fun! And with 25% off the full price until the end September, much more affordable too!
We thought these Butterfly costumes were stunning , some clever crafter has spent hours creating the wings, and the two little girls look as though they appreciate all the effort.


And for those busy mums with less time available? Here’s a Butterfly costume we made earlier! Again on special offer with 25% off the full price during September. Our Butterfly Fancy Dress outfit is machine washable too, which certainly wasn’t true of the above vintage delights!
Frilly Lily has a wide range of dressing up costumes to suit any little girl: and now is perfect timing to buy for Halloween!
