How to put it together
- 1
Put on the white tights or leggings followed by your gold or yellow shoes.
- 2
Step into the pink or purple petticoat to establish the base volume for the skirt.
- 3
Slip on the structured white teapot dress or tunic over the petticoat, ensuring the hoop or stuffing is evenly distributed to create a round shape.
- 4
Adjust the gold-trimmed collar and puff sleeves so they sit symmetrically.
- 5
Secure the teapot lid hat or fascinator onto your head using bobby pins or the attached headband.
- 6
Carry a small teacup prop, like Chip, to complete the character's signature look.
Makeup & hair
Keep makeup soft and motherly with rosy pink cheeks, a warm pink lipstick, and neutral eyeshadow. Style your hair in a neat, low bun or tuck it completely under the teapot lid hat.
