My Mother's Easter Bunny

I don't decorate much for Easter, but one item that always comes out for a seasonal visit is the stuffed Easter Bunny that my mom had as a child. It's always nice to get her out, give her an airing and press her clothes. And I need to do a bit of mending on the dress before she goes back into "hibernation", LOL. This stiffly-stuffed bunny dates from the 1930's, I believe.
She's a lovely ol' thing, isn't she?? Poor bunny, doesn't even have a name. If my mom ever named it, she never shared it with me! And I never named it either....... hmmmm..... what's up with that? I name EVERYTHING (even my cars!) But I digress.....
Her clothes are layers of sheer organdy-like fabric. First is the flowered overdress. Then below that is a plain colored underskirt.

And below that, our Miss Bunny (must call her SOMETHING!) has lacy pantaloons. Ooh-la-la! Can't you imagine what fun this would be for a little girl to have and play with?

Can you tell she's been well loved?

Here is the back of the ensemble. The ribbon is a bit tattered, but it's still the original ribbon.

And her chic little lacy cap and pink eyes ......

Her expression is a bit severe, which was probably just How Bunnies Were back then. I might be mistaken, but I could swear I saw her smile last night after her dress was spruced up and she got her cuddle........
