Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unpacking: Carefully unpack all components of the costume. The velour jacket and lace dickey may require light steaming or ironing on a low setting to remove any wrinkles from packaging. Ensure the iron does not directly touch delicate lace.
  2. Layering: Wear the lace dickey first, ensuring the collar is positioned correctly. Then, layer the velour jacket over the dickey. The jacket buttons are functional and should be fastened as desired for a secure fit.
  3. Accessorizing: While not included, consider adding black gloves, dark stockings, and elegant dark footwear to complete the look. A subtle gothic-inspired necklace or earrings can further enhance the ensemble.
