Multicoloured bands decorate the dark open-front jacket and wide trousers, while a silver neck ring accents the collar. The teacup echoes the outfit’s blue-and-white details.
A layered black top, pleated front layer and wide trousers form the wedding silhouette. A silver chest ornament frames the teapot Stupenka holds at the chest.
A white open-front jacket with contrasting trim pairs with wide indigo trousers and a pleated apron. Stupenka presents a tea leaf, with a waist pouch and blue-and-white head wrap continuing the outfit’s patterns.
Coloured sleeves, blue pleats and silver neck rings stand out against black clothing layers. A structured head wrap leaves the tea terrace visible, while a woven basket is supported by a paw and strap.
