To use this adult Christmas elf costume, first put on the elf top over your regular clothes. Then, slip into the elf trousers. Finally, place the elf hat with the bell on your head. When wearing it, make sure the bell doesn't get caught on anything. For maintenance, you can gently hand - wash the costume in cold water. Don't use harsh detergents as they may damage the golden accents. Hang it to dry in a well - ventilated area. Avoid ironing directly on the golden parts. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use to keep it in good condition.
