Color & Shape Notes (for accuracy)

This lamb has a gently oval head with widely set eyes and a tiny smile; ears are short and droop slightly. The body is compact and cylindrical for a standing pose. Shoes are ballet flats; the chef hat is puffy with a defined band. The apron dress is soft dusty pink with a delicate white scallop edge peeking out.

Styling & Finishing

  • Steam-block the chef hat and skirt for the natural curve you see in lifestyle photos.
  • Keep embroidery minimal; the charm is in the soft pastel palette and visible stitch texture.
  • For the “woolly” look, gently brush the outer rounds of the head and ears with a soft toothbrush—just a touch.
  • Photograph near a window on a light wooden table with a sofa and a plant behind for that real-home, pastel vibe.

Care

Spot clean only. If you used wire in the whisk or cardboard in the soles, avoid soaking. Reshape the hat brim after cleaning and let everything dry flat.
