How to put it together

1
Put on the plain white long-sleeve shirt and white leggings as your base layer.
2
Step into the structured teacup tunic, pulling it up so the top rim rests comfortably under the armpits.
3
Secure the shoulder straps of the tunic to ensure the cup sits straight and does not sag.
4
Adjust the gold handle on the side so it stands out clearly and holds its shape.
5
Put on the yellow or gold shoes to complete the color palette.

Makeup & hair

Keep hair neat and pulled back so it does not block the teacup's rim. For a fun touch, use face paint to add small pink circles on the cheeks for Chip's rosy look.

Keep the legs free and clear of long fabric to prevent tripping while walking.
