| 1 | Costume Jumpsuit | The officially licensed Disney Pixar jumpsuit does most of the work in one piece: red through the body, with the black glove-look sleeves and boot-look leg cuffs already built in, plus the thin gold belt and the black-and-gold "i" emblem printed on the chest. This one is sized S (4-6); Disney also sells it as M (7-8) for bigger kids. | 🛒 Check on Amazon |
| 2 | Incredibles Gloves, Black | Officially licensed elbow-length black gloves, for a cleaner glove line than a printed sleeve, or if your jumpsuit's sleeves stop at the wrist. | 🛒 Check on Amazon |
| 3 | Black Superhero Eye Mask | A plain black eye mask on an elastic strap. Dash's mask has no extra detailing, so a simple domino shape is all you need. | 🛒 Check on Amazon |
| 4 | Blonde Spiky Kids Wig | Dash's hair is swept forward and spiked up at the front. Skip this if your kid is already blonde — a little gel does the same job — but it's here for anyone who isn't. | 🛒 Check on Amazon |
| 5 | Costume Set: Jumpsuit, Mask & Gloves | Would rather buy one box than piece it together? This set bundles the jumpsuit, mask, and gloves. | 🛒 Check on Amazon |
Get the colors right and this costume reads instantly, because Dash wears the exact same supersuit as the rest of the Parr family: mostly red, with black only at the gloves, the boot-tops, and a brief-shaped panel over the hips, plus a thin gold belt at the waist and the Incredibles' black oval "i" logo, outlined in gold, on the chest. There's no cape on any of Edna Mode's suits — "no capes" is a running joke in both films for a reason.
The officially licensed jumpsuit above already has the belt and the emblem printed on, so you don't need to hunt down either separately. Add the gloves if the printed sleeve cuffs don't quite reach the wrist, and finish with the mask and, if needed, the wig. Black sneakers or shoes are all you need on the feet — the jumpsuit's legs already run black from the shin down, the same way Dash's do on screen.
If you'd rather build the look from separates instead of a single licensed jumpsuit, a plain red long-sleeve compression shirt and red compression leggings make the base, a pair of black compression shorts worn over the hips stands in for the brief panel, a gold elastic superhero belt covers the waist, and an Incredibles "i" iron-on patch goes on the chest. It's more assembly, but it sizes up easily for a lankier kid a licensed jumpsuit doesn't fit.
These licensed jumpsuits run true to size but fit snug through the shoulders like most stretch-spandex costumes — if your child is between the S (4-6) and M (7-8) breakpoints, size up rather than down so there's room to actually run around in it.
Dash's whole personality is barely-contained energy, so lean into it: a running stance, arms pumping, is more in character than a static superhero pose. If you want a small nod to his super speed without turning it into a different costume, a lightning bolt iron-on patch on a sock or shoe is a fun extra — it isn't anything from the films, just a wink for anyone who gets it.
For teens and adults
There's no adult-sized "Dash" costume, since he's a kid character, but the supersuit itself is identical across the whole Parr family. A Mr. Incredible adult jumpsuit with mask and gloves is the same red-and-black design in grown-up sizing — pair it with the blonde wig above (sized up, or a teen/adult version of the same style) for a Dash cosplay instead of Mr. Incredible.
Going as the whole family? Pair Dash with Frozone, his baby brother Jack-Jack, or build the rest of the Parrs from the family costume guide, which also covers Mr. Incredible, Mrs. Incredible, and Violet.
About Dash Parr from The Incredibles
Dashiell "Dash" Parr is the middle child of Bob and Helen Parr — Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl — and the fastest kid alive, able to run across water and up vertical surfaces without slowing down. He's ten years old in the first film and stuck hiding his power at a school where he can't even win a race without getting in trouble for it, which makes the family's return to superhero work the best thing that's ever happened to him.
He's voiced by Spencer Fox in The Incredibles (2004), and by Huck Milner in Incredibles 2 (2018) after Fox aged out of the role. Both films were written and directed by Brad Bird for Pixar and Walt Disney Pictures — The Incredibles opened November 5, 2004, and Incredibles 2 opened June 15, 2018.
