Floral Dress Rabbit Plush | 40cm Grey Soft Toy
£29.99
Opening
Grey is the unusual part. Dressed rabbits are almost always white, cream or pastel, and a grey one in a ditsy floral dress reads quite differently — closer to something chosen than something picked off a shelf of identical pink bunnies.
It stands 40cm and weighs 280 grams, which is the other thing worth knowing. That is light for the size, and light is what decides whether a toy this big actually gets carried or gets left on the bed.
What you get
One rabbit, wearing the dress. The gift box shown in some images is a separate item and is not included with this purchase.

280 grams across 40 centimetres is the specification that matters, and it is worth putting in context. A densely stuffed rabbit of this height runs to 600 or 700 grams — enough that a child carries it from one room to the next and then puts it down. At 280 grams this one can be held by an ear and dragged around all afternoon without becoming a chore, which is the difference between a toy that gets used and one that decorates a bed.
The trade is that it will not stand up on its own or hold a pose. It slumps, leans and sits rather than standing to its full 40cm unaided.
Check the ear and limb seams when it arrives, and again every few months. On a soft-filled toy the seams take the whole load wherever it gets picked up, and on a rabbit that is almost always an ear. Check the dress for buttons, poppers or ties that could work loose.

Fit notes
40cm is measured to the ear tips with the rabbit upright. Because it is lightly filled it will not hold that height standing on a shelf, so expect the seated or leaning figure to be noticeably shorter if you are matching it to a space.
The dress is cut for this rabbit and this size and is not interchangeable with other dolls. Allow a few centimetres either way on the height, as a lightly filled toy varies more between pieces than a dense one.
Styling
Grey works against almost any bedding, which pastel rabbits do not, and the floral dress carries the colour instead. That makes this the easier of the two to buy for a room you have not seen. At 40cm it is a substantial present rather than an accessory, and the size is what makes it read as the main gift rather than something added to one.
Care
Take the dress off first. Surface clean the rabbit with a damp cloth and mild detergent, working with the pile rather than against it, then air dry away from radiators. Hand wash the dress separately in cool water and dry flat. Do not tumble dry either part, and do not machine wash the rabbit — at this size the filling takes days to dry through and damp filling is what causes a smell that does not lift.
What is not included
No gift box, bag or wrapping is supplied. The presentation box pictured is sold separately and does not come with the rabbit. Spare outfits are not available. Blankets, cushions, other toys and anything else shown in the photographs are styling only.
Safety
For supervised play. Keep soft items out of the cot while a baby is sleeping unattended, in line with Lullaby Trust safer sleep guidance. Check the seams from time to time and stop using it if anything works loose.
