Costumes: the pleasure of playing a character
A costume is more than an outfit: it is an invitation to switch roles for an evening. By slipping on an outfit, you adopt an attitude, set a mood and allow yourself a game of seduction where the scenario matters as much as the piece itself.
In this category, you will find mainly the great role-play classics: nurse, schoolgirl or student, maid, police officer, as well as more imaginary characters such as the feline woman or the bunny. Most come as complete sets, with the accessories that bring the character to life.
A good costume is not the busiest one: it is the one that puts you at ease in the role. The pleasure comes as much from the scenario as from the outfit, so choose the character that really amuses you.
Which costume should you choose?
Start with the character that appeals to you, then check what the set includes: some outfits come down to a central piece, others include several accessories (headpiece, gloves, stockings, belt) that flesh out the role further. The more complete the set, the more immediate the effect.
Then think about three criteria: the size, to check on the model's guide as the cuts are often fitted; the fabric, from soft material to lace or glossy effects; and the level of daring, from the suggested costume to the more revealing model. The right choice is the one in which you feel comfortable playing.
The main types of costumes
The catalogue covers the great role-play archetypes. Here are the main families to help you find your way according to the mood you want.
Nurse outfits
A great classic of the genre, the nurse outfit plays on the contrast between the uniform and its cheeky twist. Often offered as a multi-piece set with a headpiece and accessories, it remains one of the most immediate characters to play.
Schoolgirl and student outfits
Inspired by the school uniform — tartan skirt, knotted blouse, tie — they play on a mischievous imagination. Usually made up of several pieces, they lend themselves to light, playful role play.
Maid outfits
Apron, headpiece and short dress make up this theatrical, playful character. Very well represented in the catalogue, the maid comes in sets of varying size, from the minimalist model to the most complete version.
Authority uniforms
Police officer, firefighter: these outfits take up the codes of the uniform — cap, belt, accessories — for a character that plays on the dynamic of authority. The effect relies on the details that instantly signal the role.
Feline and animal characters
Feline woman or bunny, these costumes rely on a more animal imagination, with ears, accessories and close-fitting cuts. They create a playful presence, halfway between the costume and the attitude.
Other themed characters
A reinterpreted nun, a sailor and other figures round out the selection. Each relies on a few key elements that bring the character to life and let you vary the moods as you wish.
Profession outfit or fictional character?
Outfits inspired by a profession — nurse, maid, police officer — play on instantly recognisable codes. The uniform and its accessories set the scene in a glance, which makes role play easier even when you are starting out. It is the most direct choice for setting up a scenario.
More imaginary characters — feline, bunny — rely more on attitude and silhouette than on a precise uniform. Less literal, they leave more room for interpretation and fantasy. It is up to you to choose between a well-defined role and a freer character to play.
Tips for choosing your costume well
A few simple guidelines help you choose an outfit you like, that fits well and lasts from one occasion to the next.
- Check the size guide: the cuts are often fitted; rely on your measurements rather than your usual size.
- Look at the set details: the number of pieces and the accessories included vary from one model to another.
- Choose the character that amuses you: role play works better when the role puts you at ease.
- Think about complementary accessories: stockings, gloves or heels often extend the character.
- Wash gently: by hand or on a delicate cycle to preserve fine fabrics and glued or sewn details.

Frequently asked questions
What does a costume include?
It depends on the model. Some come down to a central piece, others come as a multi-piece set with accessories (headpiece, gloves, belt, stockings). The details are stated on each product page.
How do I choose the right size?
Costumes often run close to the body. Rely on the model's size guide and your measurements (bust, waist, hips) rather than your usual size; if in doubt, the size up offers more ease.
Are the accessories included?
Most of the time yes, but it varies by set. Headpieces, gloves, ties or belts are generally part of the outfit; stockings and heels sometimes need to be added separately.
Can these costumes be worn at a party?
Yes. Depending on the model, they suit a themed party, a fancy-dress event or a more intimate moment for two. The level of daring varies from one outfit to another.
How do I care for a costume?
Favour hand washing or a delicate cycle in cold water, and let it air dry. Glued details, accessories and fine fabrics are better preserved without a tumble dryer.
Can I personalise the outfit?
Yes. A set is easily completed with stockings, gloves or shoes to reinforce the character and adapt the look to the mood you want.
Is delivery discreet?
Yes. Orders are prepared with discretion and shipped in neutral packaging, with no explicit indication of the contents on the outside.
