🧵 ASSEMBLY & STAGING
Assemble both dolls completely, styling the lady's glamorous chignon updo and the gentleman's formal tuxedo lapels.
Join the couple into an intimate waltz frame, securing their hands and waist connection with subtle hidden stitches.
Suspend the mini golden crystal chandelier directly above their heads.
Level their dancing shoe soles so the couple stands together in perfect ballroom harmony!
💡 Cuchifú® Expert Tips:
Securing the couple's arms into a authentic waltz frame (right hand on waist, left hand clasped high) brings romantic storytelling and balance to the piece.
Place small flat weights or coins inside both dolls' foot bases before closing to ensure the dancing couple stands sturdy without tipping over.
