How to put it together
- Person 1 puts on the white shirt and dark trousers, then fastens the cape.
- Person 2 puts on the long dark dress and checks the hem clears the floor.
- Both apply pale makeup and dark eyes so the pair looks matched.
- Add optional fangs and accessories, then pose together.
Two variations
Gothic Royals
Both wear deep wine-red touches, like a red cravat and red gloves, for a regal look.
Modern Night Out
Swap the cape and gown for sleek black jackets and dark sunglasses.
Safety note
Use skin-safe makeup and do a patch test first. Keep capes and dresses off the floor to avoid trips. Remove fangs before eating.
