Rubie's Official Amelia Fang Child Dress, Kids Fancy Dress

Product Information

Imagine my excitement when Laura Ellen Anderson asked me to make her an outfit for her book launch of Amelia Fang and the Barbaric Ball! If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our site, and will not be able to monitor its performance. Amelia is sure to be the star of the show for this year’s celebrations, but there’s also a whole colourful cast of other characters from the series who would also make for fantastic dress-up. This year's World Book Day is on 7 March and if you're feeling stumped for costume ideas, look no further! With our exclusive offer, we know this will not only be a way to generate unprecedented interest in our Horrid Henry costumes and the new story, Vile Vacation, but to also inspire children to read, which provides untold and limitless benefits.

I have my milliner friend, Jayne Hepsibah Sullivan of the Hepsibah Gallery to thank for the introduction to animation wire. The top is made from black velvet with orange metallic polka dots scattered, in the centre is Amelia Fang with her pet pumpkin Squashy with a creepy background of a graveyard and trees.Held at T he Crypt of St Pancras Parish Church, London which was originally designed and used for coffin burials from 1822, when the Church was opened, to 1854, when the crypts of all London churches were closed to burials. Big massive thank yous to Tiffany for putting me forward, to Laura for such an awesome opportunity and to Laura’s mum for the fabulous photos. She spends every waking hour creating and drawing, and would quite like to live on the moon when humans finally make it possible.

Here’s a fab pic of Laura Ellen Anderson, the author and illustrator of the series, dressed-up as Amelia when we filmed her reading from her first book Amelia Fang and the Barbaric Balllast year in a creepy graveyard. Launching during the week of World Book Day (3rd March), for which Rubies is an official corporate partner, the initiative will see an exclusive offer for 250 fans to receive a free copy of a specially created comic style book, entitled Horrid Henry’s Vile Vacation, when they purchase a Horrid Henry dress-up costume through one of Rubies official retail partners. Laura is the creator of EVIL EMPEROR PENGUIN and illustrator of WITCH WARS, as well as many other children’s books. Tracey Devine-Tyley, head of licensing and portfolio EMEA, commented: “We understand how important reading is to children as it helps develop their minds and imaginations and we strive to support this through any of the licences we hold which celebrate reading.Oh, and I couldn’t resist adding a few cockerel feathers left over from my significant birthday dress.

Amelia and friends live in the spooky land of Nocturnia, which means that you can take the Halloween costume box down from the attic 6 months’ early!

The Amelia Fang costumes are available in children’s sizes and there is also as an accessory set, featuring finishing touches for an outfit for the Pumpkin Ball. It’s the most wonderful time of the year and nothing gets us in a more festive mood like sitting in a candle-lit room with a fluffy blanket, some hot cocoa, and a carefully selected book from our TBR pile. My husband and I were at a dance this weekend and he danced with a lady whose petticoat kept bashing him about the knees.
