Lulu has a cotter pin and disk jointed head and thread jointed limbs. Don't let that scare you - it's not hard to do.

Lulu looks beautiful dressed in her garden party outfit, which is included. The pattern includes the dress, hat, shawl, bloomers, and handbag to fit Lulu or other similar miniature bears or dolls.
