How to put it together
- 1
Put on your base layer of solid black or dark clothing (shirts, pants, and comfortable shoes).
- 2
Unpack the foam bacon and egg tunics and steam or hang them beforehand to remove any packing creases.
- 3
Slip the bacon tunic over the head of the first person, adjusting the shoulder straps so it hangs straight down the torso.
- 4
Slip the fried egg tunic over the head of the second person, ensuring the yellow yolk is centered on the chest.
- 5
Grab your spatula prop to complete the breakfast chef theme.
Makeup & hair
Keep hair and makeup simple and natural. For a funny twist, you can paint a small yellow yolk on one person's cheek and a red bacon strip on the other using face paint.
