How to put it together
- 1
Put on your neutral base layers, such as a matching black t-shirt and black pants, to keep the focus on the costumes.
- 2
Slip the tequila bottle tunic over the head of the first person, adjusting the shoulder straps for a comfortable fit.
- 3
Slip the lime slice tunic or dress over the head of the second person.
- 4
Add the mini sombrero or gold cap to the tequila bottle wearer.
- 5
Place the lime wedge headband on the lime slice wearer.
- 6
Put on comfortable sneakers or flat shoes, as this is a highly social party costume.
Makeup & hair
Keep hair simple and pulled back so it does not interfere with the tunics. For makeup, the lime partner can opt for bright green eyeshadow or glitter, while the tequila partner can keep it completely natural.

Tips
- Wear lightweight clothing underneath the foam tunics, as polyfoam can trap body heat in crowded rooms.
- If the foam tunics arrive creased, hang them up in a steamy bathroom for 20 minutes to smooth out the wrinkles.
- Keep your hands free for party drinks by choosing tunics with large armholes that do not restrict movement.
