The Amalia costume is the most traditional of all Greek girl costumes - it is considered the women's national costume of Greece. The costume was designated by the first queen of Greece, Queen Amalia. A long sleeve jacket is worn with the skirt and a hat with a long cord.

This girl's costume consists of
(1) velvet jacket with velcro closing at front and embroidered trimming throughout
(2) velcro fez (hat)
(3) white satin polyester long sleeve shirt with decorative front, detailed extended lace cuffs and a tie closing at back neck.
(4) light blue satin polyester skirt with elastic waist


 This outfit is imported from Greece and generally kept in stock ready to ship from our NJ location.    This traditional dancing costume is a favorite amongst dancing troupes and churches. 


Sizing:  The costume runs true to size.  We recommend to size to the shirt of the Amalia costume as the shirt is the tightest fit of the whole outfit.  If your child is broad shouldered, you can size up.   The skirt is full length and has an elastic waist.  The elastic waist of the skirt can be rolled up to shorten the length if need be.

Amalia Girls Traditional Costume

Beautiful outfit! The customer service team at Blessed Celebration was wonderful - prompt, helpful and a pleasure to work with. The outfit itself is beautiful. As others have written, it does run large. My tall, thin 12 year old daughter normally wears a youth size 14. I ordered a size 16+ so that she could wear it for a few years. The top is a bit large but it's fine and it works well because she can wear a thick warm shirt underneath it during the Greek parade. The skirt was very large. So much so that we had to have it taken in. A good seamstress at a local cleaners was able to do that quickly for about $22 and we can let out the hem later if needed. She shortened the skirt and tightened the waist. I love that it can be washed and makes me less concerned if it rains during the parade. All in all, we're very pleased with our purchase and ready to enjoy our sweet girl wearing it! Thank you!

Beautiful outfit!

Love the outfit - exactly as described. Beautiful workmanship.
Would highly recommend! It came very quickly and will be perfect for Greek Independence Day dance!
My only concern is the feder (hat). It appears to be on the small side so I am trying to figure out how to get it to work.
