How to put it together
- 1
Put on the hoop skirt petticoat first to establish the wide, voluminous base for the dress.
- 2
Carefully step into the pink ballgown, pulling it up over the hoop skirt, and zip or lace up the back.
- 3
Style your hair into high-volume, 1920s-inspired blonde curls, securing them with hairspray.
- 4
Place the silver tiara securely on your head, using bobby pins to anchor it into your hair.
- 5
Put on the pink heart pendant necklace and slip on the elbow-length pink satin gloves.
- 6
Finish the look with a swipe of bright pink lipstick and a dramatic, bubbly Southern belle pose.
Makeup & hair
Style your hair in voluminous, bouncy blonde curls pinned up into a half-up style to support the tiara. Keep makeup bright and classic with rosy pink cheeks, defined eyelashes, and a vibrant pink lipstick.

Tips
- The hoop skirt is essential; without it, the dress will drape flat instead of having Lottie's signature dramatic bell shape.
- Practice walking and sitting in the hoop skirt beforehand so you don't trip or knock things over at your party.
- Wear comfortable flat shoes or low wedges under the gown, as your feet will be completely hidden by the massive skirt.
- Keep a small hand fan with you to stay cool under the heavy layers of tulle and to use as a fun, character-accurate prop.
