Tips
- Use a lightweight fabric like chiffon or rayon for the yellow scarf so it flows easily behind you when you walk.
- If you prefer the alternative 'royal' look from the book, swap the green suit for white pants and a long blue coat with red cuffs and gold star epaulets.
- Use a fake silk rose rather than a real one so it does not droop, lose petals, or prick you during your event.
