Pastel Bloom Girls Unicorn Tutu Dress Set

A pastel rainbow girls unicorn tutu dress with an embroidered unicorn face bodice, wings and headband included – available from 12 months up to 12 years

This is one of the most recognisable designs in the unicorn dress category, and the reason is the bodice. Rather than a plain sequin front, this dress features a full unicorn face worked into the fabric: closed embroidered eyelashes, glittery gold ears, a gold horn, and three hand-placed satin roses in pink, green and purple arranged across the front. It is a detail that children respond to immediately and parents remember when they are searching for a gift.

The rest of the dress is equally considered. A full, voluminous knee-length tutu skirt in layered pastel rainbow tulle completes the look, and the whole set arrives with wings and a gold unicorn headband included. At £34.99, the set covers every element of a unicorn costume or birthday outfit in one purchase.

Choose Your Wing Style

This dress is available in two variations, each with a different set of wings. Both come with the same dress and the same gold unicorn headband. The only difference is the wing colour, so you can choose based on your daughter’s preference or the occasion.

What Comes in the Set

Key Features at a Glance

The Unicorn Face Bodice

The unicorn face is the defining feature of this dress and what sets it apart from most sequin party dresses in this category. Rather than a plain shimmering front, the bodice tells a small story. The closed eyelash detail is stitched in black against the sequin background. The gold glitter ears sit on either side of the central gold horn. Three satin roses in pink, green and purple are hand-placed across the front, functioning both as decoration and as the unicorn’s floral crown.

The sequins themselves blend across the full width of the bodice from pink and purple on the left through to blue, gold and green. There are no hard colour blocks. The transition is gradual, which gives the bodice a more considered look than a simple single-colour sequin front. In photographs, the sequins catch the light well across the full colour range, which is one of the reasons this dress is a popular choice for cake smash photoshoots and birthday portraits.

The bodice is elasticated rather than structured with boning or rigid panels. This matters for comfort, particularly for babies and younger children, but it also makes sizing considerably more forgiving. A child who falls between two sizes will find the bodice adjusts naturally to fit. For more on why sequins and tulle remain such a popular pairing in children’s occasion wear, this article on sequins and tulle in kids’ fashion covers the topic well.

The Pastel Rainbow Tutu Skirt

The skirt is a full, voluminous tutu built from multiple layers of soft tulle mesh. The colours run from pink through to yellow, mint, purple and white, layered so that each shade is visible as the skirt moves. The finished silhouette sits at knee length, which keeps the dress practical for children who need to move and play while still giving it a princess-like fullness.

The skirt is lined, which adds to the overall volume without requiring a stiff crinoline underlayer. The lining also means the dress is modest and comfortable to wear. Because the tulle used is a soft grade, the skirt does not scratch or irritate. Children can wear this dress through a full birthday party, photoshoot or performance without the fabric becoming uncomfortable over time.

Construction and Fit Details

The straps are wide white satin ribbon that passes over the shoulders and ties into a bow at the back of the bodice. This is an important practical detail for parents of babies and toddlers. Unlike a dress with a concealed zip, a ribbon-tie closure can be adjusted slightly at the back to accommodate a slightly broader or narrower frame. It also means the dress is easier to get on and off a young child quickly.

The back of the bodice is plain white fabric rather than sequined, which serves two purposes. It makes the dress considerably more comfortable to wear for extended periods, as the sequin fabric does not sit against the back of the skin. It also keeps the overall look clean from behind, with the tie bow acting as the back detail.

The wings attach at the back of the dress. Both wing styles are padded slightly rather than flat, which gives them a more structured appearance when worn. They are detachable, so the dress works equally well without them for more formal settings.

Product Specifications

Size Guide

This dress covers ten sizes from 12-18 months right through to 11-12 years, making it one of the widest-range unicorn dresses available. The elasticated bodice makes the fit more forgiving than a structured dress, but it is still worth measuring before ordering to ensure the chest measurement falls within the range for the selected size.

For babies and toddlers, measure the chest around the fullest part with arms relaxed at the sides. For older children, take both the chest and overall height into account when selecting a size, as the skirt length is proportional. If your child is between sizes, choose the larger one as the elastic bodice will accommodate it comfortably.

Who Is This Dress For

The size range on this dress is broader than most unicorn outfits in this category. Starting from 12-18 months, it covers the full toddler and primary school age range right through to age 12. This makes it a strong choice across a wider group of occasions and age groups than a dress that only starts at age 3 or 4.

For parents planning a first or second birthday party, having a unicorn dress that fits a one-year-old is genuinely useful and not always easy to find. The ribbon tie closure rather than a zip makes it considerably easier to dress babies and toddlers, and the elastic bodice means a precise fit is less critical at that age.

For older girls in the 6 to 12 age range, the unicorn face bodice is a distinctive detail that tends to go down well at unicorn and rainbow themed parties, World Book Day events and school plays. The dress photographs well in both natural and studio lighting, which makes it a popular choice for cake smash sessions and professional birthday portraits. If you want more background on why unicorn-themed clothing holds such consistent appeal for girls in this age range, this article on girls and unicorn dresses explores the reasons in detail.

For grandparents and family friends buying a gift, this set requires nothing extra. The wings and headband are included, which removes the usual uncertainty around whether a dress will come with accessories or whether they need to be sourced separately.

Occasions This Dress Works For

Styling This Dress

For Parties and Birthday Events

Attach the wings and headband from the set and the outfit is complete. The gold headband works with both wing variants. For footwear, white or silver shoes sit cleanly with the pastel palette. For toddlers and babies, soft-sole white shoes or barefoot sandals keep the look light and comfortable.

For Photoshoots and Cake Smash Sessions

The rainbow sequin bodice catches light from every angle, which makes this dress perform particularly well in photography. For a cake smash, the tulle skirt is voluminous enough to create a strong silhouette in photographs while remaining soft and comfortable for a messy session. Both wing styles work well in photos, with the gold wings giving a cleaner, more editorial look and the rainbow wings creating a more vibrant and colourful frame.

For Cooler Weather or Formal Events

A plain white or ivory bolero jacket over the top keeps the dress appropriate for cooler venues or more formal settings while keeping the full front detail visible. For babies and toddlers at outdoor events, a soft white cardigan underneath the dress is a practical option that does not disrupt the look.

Care Instructions

Hand wash the dress in cool water using a mild detergent. Do not rub or wring the tulle layers. After washing, gently reshape the skirt while still damp and hang on a padded hanger to dry. The tulle will regain its volume as it air dries. Do not tumble dry or bleach.

If the tulle becomes flat after washing or storage, it can be lightly steamed to restore volume. Hold the steamer at a safe distance from the fabric and use a gentle setting. Do not steam directly onto the sequin bodice or the satin roses.

Store the dress hanging rather than folded where possible. The tulle tiers recover their shape better when allowed to hang freely between wears. For more detail on maintaining tulle garments, see our guide on how to care for tulle.
