Color Placement Notes for Accuracy

• The bunny body is entirely cream except for shoes.
• The skirt uses bold horizontal red and cream striping.
• The blouse remains mostly cream with red front buttons.
• The chest flower is red with tiny green leaves.
• The hat is cream with a red band and berry detail on one side.
• The handbag is bright red with a pearl-style curved handle.
• The fox body is orange with a blue-and-white striped shirt.
• The fox hat is tan with a blue band.

Final Assembly and Facial Detailing

Keep the bunny face very soft and minimal. The eyes should sit low enough to leave room for the hat brim, and the brows should be thin and gently curved. Add faint blush under the eyes. Shape the ears so they frame the face rather than sticking outward.

Care Notes

Display indoors away from direct sunlight and high humidity. If this set is meant for décor, avoid rough handling of the hat brim, flowers, and bag handle. For children, embroider facial details securely and avoid loose beads.

Quick Checklist Before You Finish

• Head stuffed firmly and evenly
• Eyes aligned symmetrically
• Ears attached at matching height
• Dress centered and skirt flared evenly
• Hat brim balanced
• Flowers, buttons, and bows sewn securely
• Fox sitting steadily
• Basket and berries scaled small beside doll

Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines

Spot clean with a lightly damp cloth and mild soap. Do not machine wash if the set includes beads, wire, or glued trims. Reshape while drying flat. Store in a clean box or dust-free cabinet, and add acid-free tissue around the hat brim and skirt when storing long term.
