Rubies Biblical Times Shepherd Costume - Child Large | Nativity & Dress-Up

Bring a Nativity Scene to Life

Invite your child to step into a timeless story with the Rubies Biblical Times Shepherd Costume. The ensemble combines a short sleeve black crushed velvet robe with a cream ivory under robe and a simple black rope belt, creating a layered look that reads authentic on stage, in photos, or during a festive living nativity at home. The tactile contrast between the velvet and the lighter under layer adds depth and visual interest, helping your child stand out in group scenes or school performances.

This costume isn’t just about appearance. The hint of velvet sheen and the structured silhouette help young performers move with ease, while the belt defines the waist and enhances the overall shape. For a more complete look, sandals and a shepherd hook can be added separately to round out the outfit and give your child options for different roles or settings.
