Kmart Australia has removed a children's Halloween costume from its shelves following a petition from a concerned parent, who called the outfit "beyond inappropriate."
Australia's 7 News reported that Shannon B, who asked the outlet to keep her last name anonymous, noticed the costume when Halloween shopping with her daughter.
The outfit, simply labeled as "Bride Costume," depicts a young girl wearing a wedding gown and veil. Shannon noted that the costume, which was selling for $6, was marked as being made for children as young as 4 years old.

Thank goodness a free honeymoon doesn't come with it. Hahaha!
just abolish Halloween and be done with it
thought police are out on patrol
heaven forbid a little girl have dreams of one day getting married and want to play dress up.
not everything is evil and I do not need society controlling every thought and action
OMG! It's a costume. For dress up. And it's Halloween! How many little girls love to put their mom's veil on and try on their shoes. It's not like a 6 year old is advertising to get married.
This PC society has gone global.
Everybody is so sensitive today. It's always some outrage, and a boycott, and somebody should do something.
Has the hobo costume been shunned yet? It use to be the go to costume for boys, well before my time, but in between years of being Batman or Spider-Man, I totally rocked the hobo costume! Stick with a hankercheif bundle, the works. I guess it's inconsiderate to homeless today.
Why don't you buy one to wear for your hubby then. I'm sure he would love a little kinky action.
