Details as per Theresa Ellenwood's original instructions
1. Since Quinn's Cottontails is a 9 row plate and Chery Williams allows for only 7 rows, the lower front portion of the bubble will need to be shortened to accommodate those two rows so that the bubble will not hang too low.
2. Instead of using a casing with elastic at the leg, I opted for a 1 inch fabric band accented with dark green mini piping. I also used the same piping around the collar and sleeves.
3. The back is closed with white bunny buttons.
4. The belt is embellished with two carrot buttons (I had to spray paint the stems to match the piping), backed by two plain buttons that do the actual fastening.
