Updated on

Little fans of Disney’s Encanto are sure to love the chance to dress up as their favourite characters to not only feel as heroic as Mirabel or as strong as Luisa but also feel absolutely magical dressed in the beautiful outfits from the film. Rich with colour, Columbian culture, and florals, they can use their fancy dress and imagination to embark on their own enchanting adventure, talk to animals like Antonio, or conjure gorgeous flowers like Isabela.

In a slightly different style, this dress also has no fastenings but the dress here is designed to have a fuller skirt, frilled collar, and puff sleeves to closer resemble Mirabel's outfit in the film. The quality doesn't quite match that of the official Disney fancy dress, but it makes a great alternative if you're looking for a more affordable option or one that's in stock.
