Steal this for your own video

When the dress code is “[theme],” so you [turn your outfit into the theme].

  • — When the dress code is “garden party,” so you turn your outfit into a blooming flower.
  • — When the dress code is “retro futurism,” so you turn your outfit into a disco spaceship.
  • — When the dress code is “under the sea,” so you turn your outfit into a living coral reef.
