Girls Unicorn Galaxy Tulle Party Dress • Dark Galaxy Print Bodice with Unicorn, Mermaid and Butterfly Motifs • Three-Tier Pink, Grey and Purple Tulle Skirt • Ages 2 to 8 Years
This is the boldest and most visually striking of the unicorn dresses in the collection. Where the other two versions use pale pink tones and sweet pastel palettes, this one goes in a completely different direction. The bodice is a deep, dark galaxy illustration of remarkable quality for a children’s party dress, and the three-tier tulle skirt in hot pink, grey and purple creates a colour combination that is genuinely dramatic.
The bodice print features multiple fantasy characters arranged in a deep space setting: a large watercolour unicorn in purple and teal galaxy tones prances across the centre, while a coral and pink mermaid silhouette appears to the right. Colourful butterflies in red, orange, teal and blue flutter through the scene alongside scattered stars and feathers. The black background gives the characters exceptional vibrancy and makes the whole print feel like a window into a magical fantasy world.
The dress is a single piece, not a set. The sleeveless design, round neckline and pull-on style make it practical and comfortable for all-day wear, while the tiered tulle skirt adds enough volume and movement for twirling. At £13.99 it is the most accessible price point in the unicorn range.
Design in Detail
The Galaxy Fantasy Print Bodice
The bodice fabric uses a high-quality digital print on a smooth polyester base. The background is a deep, dark blue-black galaxy, rich with nebula-style colour clouds in dark purple, midnight blue and dark teal. Against this deep space background, the fantasy characters are rendered in a watercolour and glitter illustration style that gives each character a soft, luminous quality.
The central unicorn is the largest element, depicted in profile in a prancing pose. Its body is filled with the same galaxy tones as the background but slightly lighter, so it reads clearly as a distinct figure. Teal highlights catch the suggestion of a galaxy map across its side. The mermaid silhouette to the right is filled with a warm coral and pink tone that creates a striking contrast against the cool galaxy tones. Butterflies are scattered throughout the composition in warm, saturated colours that pop against the dark base. Stars in teal and gold and floating feathers complete the scene.
The Three-Tier Tulle Skirt
The skirt is built in three distinct horizontal tiers, each in a different colour tone. The uppermost tier is hot pink and fuchsia. The middle tier is grey and silver. The lower tier is purple and lilac. Each tier is a separate layer of gathered tulle, and the tiers sit one below the other with each successive tier extending slightly beyond the one above, creating a stepped, cascading effect.
The combination of hot pink, grey and purple is unusual and more sophisticated than a straightforward rainbow palette. The grey middle tier in particular creates a deliberate visual break between the warm pink above and the cool purple below, giving the skirt a more composed, considered look than if the tones simply blended into each other. The grey also coordinates with the dark galaxy bodice in a way that a purely pastel skirt would not.
The Bodice Construction
The bodice is sleeveless with wide shoulder straps that provide good support and stability. The round neckline sits comfortably without pulling. The dress is fully lined inside the bodice for comfort against the skin and structured enough to hold its shape without needing any additional support. The back fastens with a zip or concealed closure allowing easy dressing and removal.

When to Wear This Dress
For birthday parties: The galaxy print and the three-tier tulle skirt make this dress immediately eye-catching at a party without the formal weight of a ball gown or the layering complexity of a costume set. It is comfortable enough for a full party day, easy to eat in and easy to run around in. The dark galaxy bodice gives it a slightly more distinctive, less conventional look than a standard pink party dress, which suits children who want something different. Add a headband or hair accessories to complete the look.
For World Book Day and school fancy dress: The multiple fantasy characters on the bodice, unicorn, mermaid and butterflies, mean this dress can represent several different book characters or fantasy themes simultaneously. A child wearing this dress can be a unicorn princess, a mermaid adventurer or simply a galaxy explorer depending on what accessories they add. It is comfortable enough to wear for a full school day.
For photoshoots and imaginative play: The dark galaxy background photographs with exceptional drama against both light studio backgrounds and outdoor settings. The contrast between the vivid fantasy characters and the deep dark space background creates images with real visual depth. The three-tier skirt adds movement and volume in action shots when the child is twirling or running.
As an everyday dress-up outfit: At £13.99 this is priced accessibly enough for regular dress-up wear rather than being reserved for a single special occasion. The dark background is also more forgiving of light marks than a white or pale pink dress, making it a practical choice for children who want to wear their special dress more than once. Pair with occasion shoes for parties or plain trainers for everyday play.

Frequently Asked Questions
This is the most distinctive and dramatic of the three unicorn options. The dark galaxy print bodice is completely different from the pale pink and pastel tones of the other two. It suits children who love a bolder, more complex aesthetic alongside the unicorn theme.
The unicorn ball gown set is a formal floor-length 3-piece costume for ages 4-12 at £29.99. The unicorn tutu outfit is a casual two-piece for ages 1-6 at £14.99. This galaxy dress is a single-piece knee-length party dress for ages 2-8 at £13.99. It sits between the two in formality: more structured than the casual tutu outfit, but less of a costume event than the ball gown set.
Yes. The dark galaxy background is a feature rather than a problem. The vivid fantasy characters on the bodice, particularly the unicorn, mermaid and butterflies, are immediately recognisable and appealing to children, and the dark background makes the characters appear more vibrant and magical rather than simply darker. Many children in the 4 to 8 year range specifically prefer more dramatic, bold aesthetics over pastel palettes. The practical advantage is that the dark background is also more forgiving of light marks and general wear than a white or pale pink bodice.
Just the dress. Unlike the unicorn ball gown set which includes wings and a headband, this is a single-piece dress only. No additional accessories are included. This is reflected in the lower price point. Any unicorn horn headband or hair accessories would need to be purchased separately if you want to add them.
Use your child’s bust measurement as the primary guide and compare to the size chart above. The dress is knee length on most children within each age group. If between sizes, order the larger for a comfortable fit. Contact us if you need help choosing.
Yes. The sleeveless design works well with a cardigan, light denim jacket or a white bolero for cooler indoor venues or outdoor evening events. For the dark galaxy bodice, a black or grey thin cardigan works naturally. A white or cream cardigan also provides good contrast. Avoid adding outerwear that covers the full bodice print, as the print is the key visual feature of the dress.
Yes. The dress features a unicorn, a mermaid and butterflies in a fantasy setting, giving the child the flexibility to represent several different book characters or simply attend as a galaxy fantasy princess. It is comfortable enough for a full school day, which is one of the most important practical considerations for World Book Day costumes.
