A cowgirl outfit or cowboy fancy dress needs a hat, a check or denim base, and a bandana or badge to finish it. Every one of our 5 picks below puts the hat and the base in the pack, and 2 of them add a bandana or neckerchief too. None includes boots, so boots are the one thing to add whichever costume you pick.

Our own sales data leans adult, not kids, once you count orders rather than costumes. Since our GA4 export began in late April 2026, adults have placed slightly more of our UK Wild West orders than kids, and about one in three orders has included the Men's Western Sheriff Costume. All of our kids' products are safety tested by accredited labs. Every costume here comes from our Wild West fancy dress range.
Our Wild West picks at a glance
The table lines up what is in each pack against what you still need. Women's sizes run by UK dress size, kids' by age; check the size selector on each product page against your own measurements, or your child's current height, before you order.

The women's cowgirl: hen do and birthday looks
Hen groups spend real money on this. Aviva's 2023 survey found UK stag and hen guests who dress up spend an average of £105 each on fancy dress, and every piece missing from the box adds to that. Our Women's Cowgirl Costume is an all-in-one checked and denim dress plus a cowboy hat, in five sizes from UK 8-10 to 24-26, so a whole hen group can order from one page and add only boots and a bandana. The same costume covers a Wild West birthday or a line-dancing night. Our hen party fancy dress guide covers the group that wants mixed looks rather than all cowgirls.
Women's Cowgirl Costume
The dress is all-in-one, so there is no top and skirt to match, and the hat comes in the same pack. It is 100% polyester and sized by UK dress size: small fits 8-10 through to XX-large at 24-26. Boots and a bandana are yours to add; neither is in the box. A cold hand wash and an air dry flat keeps it right; never the machine.
Two girls' cowgirl costumes, and how to pick between them
Our two girls' cowgirl costumes split mainly by look. The Cowgirl Cutie is the pink-skirted one, with frilled sleeves and a flared skirt. The five-piece Cowgirl Costume is gingham and fringe, with a bandana in the pack, for ages 4 to 14.
Cowgirl Cutie Costume
A dress with a pink gingham-and-tulle skirt, white frilled sleeves, a cream cow-print vest, and a brown cowgirl hat. It is 100% polyester and sized small to large by age and height. A cold hand wash and an air dry keeps it looking right.
Cowgirl Costume
Five pieces in the box: a gingham top, a fringed skirt, a cow-print waistcoat, a red bandana, and a cowboy hat. It is the only one of our two girls' costumes that lists a bandana in the pack, and it runs in four sizes from age 4-6 up to 12-14. Made from 100% polyester; a cold hand wash and an air dry.
The boys' cowboy with pistols
The boys' side of the range leans sheriff rather than plain cowboy. Our Boys Cowboy Costume with Pistols comes with a denim vest carrying a sheriff's badge, chap-style trousers, a brown cowboy hat with its own badge, a red neckerchief, and two toy pistol cap guns, in sizes S and M. There is no shirt in the pack, so put any plain or checked long-sleeve top under the vest. All of our kids' products are safety tested by accredited labs. Made from 100% polyester; a cold hand wash and an air dry.
Boys Cowboy Costume with Pistols
The badge appears twice: on the vest, and on the hat.
The men's western sheriff
Our Men's Western Sheriff Costume is a long black jacket, a pinstriped vest, a white bib with an attached necktie, a cowboy hat, and two holster accessories. Check the size selector on the product page before you order. Pair it with our women's cowgirl costume for a couples look, or the boys' cowboy costume for a father-and-son one. Made from 100% polyester; a cold hand wash and an air dry.
Men's Western Sheriff Costume
The honest bit: despite the name, there is no sheriff's badge in this pack, and no trousers either. It covers the jacket, vest, bib and tie, hat, and holsters. Add dark trousers, boots, and a pinned-on star if you want the badge the name promises.
Finishing the look: hats, bandanas, and boots
Boots are yours to find: buy a pair, or borrow some with a low heel and a flat sole. Heading line dancing rather than to a sit-down party? Pick comfortable shoes you can turn and pivot in over anything with a deep tread. A bandana finishes our Women's Cowgirl Costume, since its own pack does not include one; our Cowgirl Costume for girls and our boys' cowboy costume already have one in the box.
Wild West parties and school days for kids
For a kids' birthday or a school dressing-up day, the three kids' costumes above cover girls from age 4 to 14 and boys in sizes S and M. Our kids' Wild West costumes range holds all three, and our Wild West party guide has decoration and games ideas if you are hosting the whole afternoon rather than just dressing one child for it.
Every costume here is measured across 30+ points, and our range as a whole goes through over 500,000 quality checks a year. Browse the rest of our Wild West fancy dress and costume range if none of the five above is quite the fit.
Frequently asked questions
What do you wear to a cowgirl themed party?
A checked or denim dress, a cowboy hat, and a bandana or belt to finish it is the core look. Our Women's Cowgirl Costume puts the dress and hat in one pack, so a bandana and a pair of boots are the only extras to bring for a hen do, birthday, or Wild West night out.
What's the difference between a cowboy costume and a sheriff costume?
A plain cowboy costume is denim, a hat, and a neckerchief; a sheriff costume adds a badge, a jacket or vest, and holster accessories on top of that base. Our boys' cowboy costume carries a sheriff badge on both the hat and the vest, and our men's western sheriff costume builds the full layered look with a jacket and holsters.
Can women wear a cowboy costume, or is it always a cowgirl costume?
Yes. A cowgirl costume is usually a dress built around a Western print, while a cowboy look uses separates such as a shirt, vest, and trousers. Our Women's Cowgirl Costume is the dress version; for the separates version, a checked shirt, jeans, a hat, and boots from your own wardrobe do the job.
What age is the girls' cowgirl costume for?
Our Cowgirl Cutie Costume is sized small to large by age and height, and our five-piece Cowgirl Costume covers age 4 up to 14. Check the size chart against your child's current height rather than age alone, since children the same age can vary in build.
