Instructions:
Create a long tank top with a deep V-neck with the gray fabric.
The tank should go roughly 9-10 inches above the knee. This will be worn over the blue shirt, which is made of fleece or wool >.
Secure the bottom of the sleeves to wrists with rubberband (?) to make it look sort of poofy. Cut gray fabric about 1 1/2 inch width to use as wrist bands.
HAIR:
Sweep upper portion of hair up and make into a braided bun (i.e. make a braid and then make that into a bun) onto the upper part of your hair. Make two long braids and use bobbypins to pin the ends up to the bun (it should look like two rabbit ears that are really really floppy and hang down at the back).
