Sleeveless Jersey Skater Dress with Included Belt • 19 Colours • Ages 5 to 13 Years • Everyday Wear, School Outings and Parties
The Go-To Girls Skater Dress for Every Day of the Week
Some dresses sit unworn in a wardrobe. The Vivid Skater Dress is not one of them. With 19 colours to choose from and a clean, simple design that works for school outings, birthday parties, family days out and everything in between, it is the kind of dress that ends up being worn again and again.
The fitted bodice uses a soft stretch jersey fabric that moves with the body rather than fighting it, and the flared pleated skirt gives it a shape that looks neat without being restrictive. A thin black belt with a square buckle is included in the box, so the dress is ready to wear straight away. Cinching the belt in at the waist transforms the silhouette from relaxed to polished in seconds.
Unlike most party dresses, this one is machine washable. For parents dressing active children, that single fact makes it worth every penny of the £11.99 price. For more ideas on building a girls wardrobe that works across every season, visit our girls seasonal fashion guide.
19 Colour Options
From classic black and navy to mustard, cerise and mint green. Whether you need a dress for school, a party or a holiday, there is a colour that works.
Belt Included
A thin black faux leather belt with a square buckle comes in the box. Use it to define the waist and lift the look from casual to smart without needing any extra accessories.
Machine Washable

Perfect For
The Vivid Skater Dress sits in the useful middle ground between a casual t-shirt dress and a formal party dress. It is smart enough to wear to a birthday party or a family gathering but comfortable enough for a full day out. The sleeveless design makes it ideal for warm weather, and the stretch fabric layers easily under a hoodie or over a long-sleeve top when the weather turns.
For autumn and winter wear, it pairs naturally with opaque tights and a girls coat or jacket. The burgundy, mustard, teal and navy colours work particularly well in the colder months, while coral, yellow, mint and turquoise suit spring and summer.

How to Style The Vivid Skater Dress
The belt that comes with the dress is the quickest way to change how it looks. Worn without the belt, the dress has a relaxed, casual feel. With the belt cinched in at the waist, it reads much more put-together and can handle a party or a smart-casual family event.
Shoes: Trainers and white socks keep it completely casual. Ballet flats or Mary Janes make it party-ready. For summer, open-toe sandals work well across all the brighter colour options.
Layering: A plain white or navy long-sleeve top underneath extends the wear into autumn and winter. A denim jacket over the top is a classic combination that works with almost every colour in the range. For the cooler months, our sparkly party shoes and a lace bolero jacket transform any of the darker colours into a smart evening look.
Size Guide
Sizes are labelled by age. The dress has a slightly fitted bodice with stretch, so it accommodates a range within each age bracket. If your child is between sizes or on the taller side, go up.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the belt come included with the dress?
Yes. Every order includes a thin black faux leather belt with a square buckle. It is part of the product and not a separate purchase. The belt is designed to sit at the natural waist and can be used to define the silhouette or left off for a more relaxed look.
Is the fabric stretchy?
Yes. The fabric is 95% polyester and 5% elastane, giving it a good amount of stretch. The bodice is fitted but moves comfortably with the body, so children can wear it all day without it feeling restrictive. The skirt section is flared and pleated, giving it volume without tightness.
Can this dress be machine washed?
Yes. Unlike many party or special occasion dresses, the Vivid Skater Dress is fully machine washable. Wash at 30 degrees on a gentle cycle. Please check the care label inside the dress before washing and avoid bleach or high heat drying to protect the colour and fabric.
Is this dress suitable for school wear?
This depends on your school’s dress code. The dress is a plain, non-uniform style that works well for casual school days, school trips and non-uniform days. The darker colours such as navy, black, burgundy and teal tend to work best in a school setting. We would recommend checking your school’s policy before purchasing for uniform use.
Can I order the same dress in multiple colours?
Yes. Each colour is listed as a separate product on our website. Simply add each colour to your basket individually. Buying multiple colours works particularly well as the same dress in different shades can be layered and mixed with the same accessories and shoes.
Is the denim blue option made from real denim?
The denim blue option has a denim-look fabric with visible contrast stitching that gives it the appearance of denim. However, like all colours in this range, it is made from the same polyester elastane blend, so it is lightweight and stretchy rather than the stiff cotton you would find in traditional denim. It machine washes the same as all other colour options.
How do I choose the right size?
The dress is sized by age. The stretch fabric gives some flexibility within each size band, but if your child is tall for her age or between sizes, we recommend going up. Contact us before ordering if you would like specific chest or waist measurements for any size.
How long does delivery take?
Standard delivery is between 5 and 20 working days. Free UK delivery applies to all orders over £13. If you are ordering multiple colours, you can often combine them in a single order to qualify for free delivery.
