How to put it together

  1. Put on the long dress, or a top with the skirt.
  2. Tie the scarf over your hair, knot at the side.
  3. Layer the gold jewelry: necklaces, rings and bracelets.
  4. Add pearls, gloves or eyeliner, then predict something mysterious.

Two variations

  • Starry Seer

    Add star shapes cut from foil paper pinned to the skirt.

  • Card Reader

    Carry a handmade set of picture cards to 'read' friends' futures.

Safety note

Keep the skirt at an ankle length that is safe to walk in. Use skin-safe eyeliner and do a patch test.
