How to put it together

1
Put on the solid-colored base layer shirt and pants to establish your dragon's main scale color.
2
Attach the stuffed dragon tail to your waistband using the built-in clip or a heavy-duty safety pin.
3
Slip your arms through the elastic straps of the dragon wings, adjusting them so they sit flat against your back.
4
Slide the flame or elemental cuffs onto your wrists.
5
Secure the felt dragon mask over your eyes and adjust the elastic band for a comfortable fit.
6
If your mask doesn't cover your head, pull up a matching hoodie hood to mimic the dragon's neck and crest.

Makeup & hair

If not using a mask, use face paint to draw colorful scales on the cheeks and temples, and style hair in a high ponytail or spike it with colored hair gel to mimic a dragon's crest.

couples: Pair up as Clay and Peril, or Glory and Deathbringer, matching their respective elemental color schemes.
group: Gather a group to represent the five Dragonets of Destiny: Clay (MudWing), Tsunami (SeaWing), Glory (RainWing), Starflight (NightWing), and Sunny (SandWing).

Tips

Keep the wings lightweight so they don't drag down or feel uncomfortable during long wear.
If trick-or-treating in cold weather, choose an oversized hoodie as the base layer so warm clothes can fit underneath.
Use safety pins to secure the tail to the waistband to prevent it from twisting or falling off while walking.
Choose soft felt masks over hard plastic ones for better visibility and comfort during school events.
