How to put it together
- 1
Put on the long-sleeved pink gown, ensuring the white off-the-shoulder collar is laid flat and even.
- 2
If using a petticoat or hoop skirt for extra volume, slip it on underneath the dress first.
- 3
Style your hair into soft, voluminous curls with a center part, or secure your blonde wig in place.
- 4
Carefully place the gold tiara on your head, securing it with bobby pins if necessary.
- 5
Fasten the pointed gold collar necklace around your neck so it sits just above the dress neckline.
- 6
Slip into your comfortable nude or pink pumps to complete the royal look.
Makeup & hair
Style your hair in long, voluminous golden-blonde curls with a distinct center part and a rolled-back fringe. Keep makeup classic and soft with a flawless complexion, neutral eyeshadow, winged black eyeliner, and a prominent pink lip color to match the dress.
