Erin is always discovering new shows on TV, and once she gets into something that’s it – she gets well and truly hooked, and we watch every episode, on repeat every single morning during breakfast. This time last year it was Elena of Avalor, and this year, it’s allll about Vampirina – the loveable girl who ‘may be blue with pointy teeth’ but gets up to some fantastic adventures with her friends including Wolfie the dog. It’s fair to say I’ve got to know her pretty well over recent months!
When we were given the opportunity to try out the new range of Vampirina Dress Up outfits, I knew that Erin would be over the moon – this is a girl who absolutely loves dressing up. The challenge would be hiding it from her for long enough to photograph in the packaging! 🙂
About the Product
Just like the outfit Vampirina wears in the TV Series, the Boo-Tiful Vampirina Dress is a soft velvet / velour style dress with a web design that fastens up the back with Velcro, has a web pattern throughout and an uneven zig zagged hem. It comes boxed, including a bat wing headband and blue gloves featuring a sparkly bat and skull.
The set is for children aged 4-6 and retails at £24.99. Some stores appear to have ones with wings included and a slightly different design, however ours included the gloves instead.
Our Experience
Erin was extremely excited when we received the Vampirina Boo’Tiful Dress and the timing was perfect – it arrived on the first day of the school holidays and a rainy one at that, and I was just sat down wondering how the hell I was going to entertain her stuck in the house all day when the door bell rang – it was like the postman had answered my prayers!
She made me run upstairs and take a photograph IMMEDIATELY (she knows the drill!) before inisiting that we open it right there and then so she could try it on. I then had to pretend to be Wolfie whilst she acted out various different scenes from the show, danced around on her cabin bed and sang (loudly and mostly out of tune) to the theme tune in her bedroom. She then asked if she could wear the outfit for Halloween (she has no sense of timing!!) and whether I would be willing to paint her face blue to add to the finished effect!!
The outfit is a lovely little set – Erin is a petite nearly 5 year old and it fitted absolutely fine, with a little room for growth. The Velcro back made life much easier, and meant that Erin could get it on and off without assistance. She was also able to pop on the gloves unaided and they were a good fit.
There are some lovely subtle features of the dress, including the Vampirina Brooch in the centre of the chest (this is attached so no need to worry about it getting lost) and the sparkly glitter design on the gloves.
The headband was a little big for Erin and so at times would flop forwards if she moved too fast however this didn’t bother her at all, in fact, she found it pretty hilarious! 🙂
Overall the Vampirina Boo’Tiful Dress is a fun outfit that will go down a storm with any Vampirina fan – what’s not to love?! There is also a range of Vampirina Toys and accessories including the Spookele for those who take their Vampirina duties a bit more seriously! 🙂 – you can see the full range available at Amazon here.
