How to put it together
- 1
Prepare the base garment by laying the tan or white dress flat on a clean surface.
- 2
Securely attach the printed Starbucks logo to the center chest area of the garment using fabric glue or double-sided fabric tape.
- 3
Drape the white feather boa or ruffled white tulle around the neckline and shoulders, securing it with safety pins to create the 'whipped cream' topping.
- 4
Construct the straw headpiece by painting a cardboard tube green, letting it dry, and hot-gluing it at a slight angle to a plain headband.
- 5
Put on the dress, adjust the whipped cream collar, and place the green straw headband on your head.
Makeup & hair
Keep makeup fresh and neutral with warm, coffee-toned eyeshadows and a nude lip. Wear your hair down in loose waves or styled neatly beneath the headband so the green straw remains the focal point.
