3
Connect the front and back yellow triangles at the shoulders and sides, leaving ample room for your head and arms.
4
Slip the yellow triangular tunic over your head so it hangs evenly on your torso.

Place the tall black top hat on your head, using bobby pins or a headband to keep it securely upright.

Tips

Use lightweight foam or stiff felt for the triangle so it holds its shape without weighing you down.
If wearing this to a crowded party or convention, make sure the triangular frame is narrow enough to easily fit through doorways.
Attach the top hat to a sturdy headband to prevent it from tilting or falling off when you move.
