How to put it together
- 1
Put on the red full-body zentai suit or the matching red shirt and pants base layer.
- 2
Securely wrap the wide red ribbons around your arms and legs in a loose spiral pattern, using safety pins to keep them in place.
- 3
Adjust the tragedy mask over your face, ensuring the black mesh or eye holes align so you can see clearly.
- 4
Carry the comedy mask in your hand as a prop, or attach it to your hip with a small loop of ribbon.
- 5
Put on simple red shoes or red socks to keep the seamless ribbon look consistent down to your feet.
Makeup & hair
Since Gangle wears a full face mask, no makeup or hair styling is required. If your hair is long, tie it back securely in a low bun so it fits comfortably beneath the mask and zentai hood.
