~*~*~ Toy Story Woody Costume ~*~*~


~ What is it? ~

This is a fancy dress costume where the wearer can dress up as Woody the cowboy from the Toy Story films. It comprises of four seperate pieces, and looks really cute on!


~ Why did I buy it? ~

My mum actually bought this for my son's fourth birthday as he is mad about Toy Story. He adores Woody and wanted to dress up like him so as his birthday was aproaching and my mum started asking him what he would like he said he wanted Woody toys and as he already had the talking Woody she was a bit stumped as she didn't want to just get him any old thing, but after a trip to the Disney Store she came back with this costume. I didn't see her before my sons birthday so the costume was as much a surprise to me as it was to him, but it was a very lovely surprise.


~ The costume ~

The costume comprises of four different pieces -
The hat, the neckerchief, the shirt/waistcoat combo and the denim look stretch trousers with add boots.

The hat is made from a foam like material and is tan in colour, it has a brown lace detail running around the brim. It's quite cute looking and does resemble a real stetson, the shirt has a front fastening that does up with the help of little velcro tabs it's bright yellow with a red check running through it, the waistcoat is attached to the shirt and this is in a cow print with a soft fur like material. The neckerchief is red and white, the trousers have an elasticated waist and are a denim look stretch material, at the bottom of the trousers is what looks like cowboy boots, these fit over the childs normal shoes making it quite a practical costume.


~ What my son thought of it ~

As you can imagine my son was thrilled with this costume, in fact he refused to take it off for a while, he even wanted to wear it to bed as he said he could dream better in it!
He really loves Woody and the fact he now had the costume to dress like his hero pleased him no end. He obviously found it very comfortable as he was always in it, I would manage to get him into his clothes for school but as soon as he got in afterwards he would run straight in stripping off his clothes ready to put this back on!

I washed it numerous times on a 30° cycle and either line dryed it or popped it on the radiator, I didn't want to risk tumble drying it and it always came up like new.

He wore it when the school had a fancy dress day and I wasn't surprised to see that he wasn't the only Woody there, and I don't mean to be biased but his costume did look the nicest, the others looked quite cheap looking compared to his.

His favourite part was the hat and this soon got a little bit dented and marked but it still functioned very well, it was a teeny bit too big for him but nothing major.


~ What I thought of it ~

I was as pleased as my son when he opened this, it looked really cute and it is very well made. It really does resemble what Woody wears so I have nothing bad to say about this at all.
My son has it in 5-6yrs as my mum said the 3-4yrs looked a bit small and she was worried that it wouldn't fit him for long. This worked fine for me as it would mean he would be able to get much more use out of it in the long term, at the time I simply had to roll the waistband on the trousers as they were a little long, and the sleeves had to have one fold but it still looked fine.


~ Overall Opinion ~

My son is five and a half now so he has had a year and a halfs use out of this and I have to say it is still in amazing condition, the hat is the only thing that looks particularly worn as it has a few dents and scrapes but it is still wearable.
I think this was money well spent for my mum as my son still likes it now and will often sit watching Toy Story with his hat on!

It's a cute suit that looks great.


~ Price ~

This isn't a cheap costume, the price is £30 but I have seen these on ebay going quite cheaply.
The sizes start 2-3yrs and go through to 9-10yrs.

Thanks for reading :o) x
