How to put it together
- 1
Put on the white or pale pink opaque dance tights.
- 2
Slip into the pink ballet tutu dress, ensuring the tulle layers are fluffed out.
- 3
Put on the pink ballet slippers and secure the elastic straps over the instep.
- 4
Attach the grey plush mouse tail to the back waistband of the tutu using a safety pin.
- 5
Place the mouse ears headband on your head, adjusting it so it sits securely.
- 6
Clip the pink satin bow directly in front of the ears or secure it to the center of the headband.

Tips
- For outdoor trick-or-treating in cold weather, layer a long-sleeved pink undershirt or cardigan over the leotard.
- If using real ballet slippers outdoors, stick adhesive sole protectors on the bottoms to prevent slipping and wear.
- Fluff the tutu layers by hand or steam them gently before wearing to get maximum volume.
