How to put it together
- 1
Put on the white dress or gown, ensuring it fits comfortably and flows freely.
- 2
Tie the gold or silver sash around your waist, letting the excess ribbon hang down the side.
- 3
Slip your arms through the elastic straps of the white feathered wings, adjusting them so they sit flat against your back.
- 4
Place the halo headband securely on your head, adjusting the wire so the halo appears to float a few inches above your hair.
- 5
Put on simple white, silver, or gold sandals or flats to complete the footwear.
Makeup & hair
Style hair in soft, loose curls or a half-up, half-down look. Apply soft, glowing makeup with shimmering silver or gold highlighter on the cheekbones, neutral eyeshadow, and a glossy lip.
