Costumes

Roleplay costumes let you step into a character for the night. Most of this collection is Leg Avenue: nurse and French maid sets, storybook princesses, a witch, a devil, a referee and strappy villainess bodysuits, alongside the Playboy Classic Bunny costume and satin ears. Wigs, a faux-leather whip and novelty badges round out the dressing-up box.

Check what each listing includes, as some are full sets and others a single piece or accessory.

What are roleplay costumes?

Roleplay costumes are lingerie-weight outfits designed around a character or theme: a nurse, a maid, a bunny, a fairytale princess or a villain. Unlike a Halloween costume, they are cut to show skin and to come off easily, with garter bodysuits, boned crop tops, peplum skirts and matching headpieces doing most of the work. A costume gives both partners a reason to behave a little differently, which is why they are a popular low-effort way to add play to a familiar relationship. This collection is led by Leg Avenue with the Playboy by Roma bunny line alongside.

Types of roleplay costumes

Nurse and maid uniforms

Leg Avenue's Nurse Feelgood, Nightshift Nurse and Naughty Nurse sets and its French Maid Kit, Foxy Frenchie and Flirty French Maid outfits are the classics, built around a garter bodysuit or sheer bra top with an apron, choker and hat headband.

Fairytale and fantasy

Glass Slipper Cinderella, Fairytale Beauty, Dreamy Princess, Wicked Wonderland Queen, Curious Miss Alice, Mischievous Mad Hatter, Poison Temptress, Ruby Desert Princess and Nile Queen take storybook characters and rebuild them as boned crop tops, garter panties, shimmer skirts and crown or bow headbands.

Dark and daring

The Villainess Vixen strappy bodysuit with hooded mask, Sultry Sinner and Sinful Sister vinyl habits, the Crafty Witch velvet bodysuit, Devilish Darling tux and tails and the Bat Wing body harness suit anyone who prefers the villain's wardrobe.

Bunny and animal

The Playboy Classic Bunny costume and satin bunny ears, Leg Avenue's Wildcat keyhole teddy with tail and ears and the Comfy Cat plush romper range from iconic to playful.

Wigs and accessories

Short bob, curly bob, long straight and long wavy wigs change a look instantly, while the braided faux-leather whip, novelty inspector badges and the referee set with whistle add a prop to play with.

How to choose a roleplay costume

Pick the character first, then check sizing, coverage and what is actually in the box.

  • Character: Uniforms are the easiest to act out; fantasy and villain looks are more about the visual.
  • Fit: Most Leg Avenue sets come in standard sizes with plus sizes on some; the Playboy bunny is listed in several sizes. Read the size chart rather than guessing.
  • Coverage: Garter bodysuits and crop top sets show more skin; rompers and catsuit dresses cover more if that feels better.
  • What is included: Multi-piece sets list every item in the title. Wigs, ears, badges and whips are sold alone.
  • Comfort: Velvet, spandex and net stretch; vinyl and boned tops are firmer and warmer to wear.

How to wear and care for roleplay costumes

Try the costume on before the night so you know how the pieces fasten and whether anything needs pinning or tucking. Keep accessories together in a bag, and plan the hair and makeup if you are wearing a wig.

  • Hand wash costumes in cold water with a gentle detergent, rinse well and hang or lay flat to dry; never tumble dry.
  • Remove headbands, clips and jewelry before washing and spot clean vinyl with a damp cloth.
  • Store wigs on a stand or in their net to keep the style, and brush them gently from the ends.
  • Keep sequins and rhinestones away from rough fabrics that could snag them.

Roleplay costumes for couples and first-time dress-up

If you have never tried dressing up, a nurse or maid set with a matching headpiece is an easy start because the character explains itself; our for beginners picks have more gentle ideas. Costumes pair naturally with lingerie underneath, and a scene can be built out with restraints or a blindfold. For more ways to play together, browse the for couples edit.

FAQs

Costumes: frequently asked questions

What should I look for in a roleplay costume?

Choose a character you both find fun, check the size chart carefully, and read the title to see exactly which pieces are included. Stretch fabrics such as spandex, velvet and net are the most forgiving fit for a first costume.

Do roleplay costumes come in plus sizes?

Some do. Several Leg Avenue sets and the Playboy Classic Bunny costume are offered in extended sizes, while others are standard sizing only. Each product page lists the available sizes, so check before ordering.

How do I wash a roleplay costume?

Hand wash in cold water with a gentle detergent, rinse well and hang or lay flat to dry. Remove headbands, clips and any jewelry first, and spot clean vinyl or sequined pieces with a damp cloth rather than soaking them.

Which roleplay costume is good for beginners?

A nurse or French maid set is the easiest start because the character is instantly recognisable and the outfit is a familiar garter bodysuit or bra and apron. Add a wig or headband and the scene writes itself.

Are wigs and accessories included with costumes?

Only when the title lists them. Many sets include a headband, hat, choker or apron, but wigs, bunny ears, badges and whips are sold separately so you can mix them with any outfit.
