How to put it together
- 1
Put on the pink floor-length gown, ensuring the white pointed collar sits symmetrically off the shoulders.
- 2
Style your hair into voluminous, bouncy curls with a center part, or secure a high-quality blonde princess wig.
- 3
Place the gold tiara on your head, positioning it slightly forward just behind your bangs or front hair section.
- 4
Fasten the flat gold collar necklace around your neck so it rests neatly above the gown's neckline.
- 5
Step into your nude or pink pumps, ensuring the hem of the dress clears the floor safely for walking.
- 6
Smooth out the skirt layers, adding a petticoat underneath if you want extra princess-style volume.
Makeup & hair
Style your hair in soft, voluminous blonde waves with a neat center part and curled bangs. For makeup, use a soft pink lipstick, a touch of rosy blush, and simple, clean winged eyeliner to capture the classic mid-century animation style.
