Rabbit Etiquette Part 2: The Outfit
Continuing our etiquette trip, we move on to what to wear for your society occasions.
There is only one place to go for outfits when you’re an animal of distinction – Pugsley’s in Dulcimer Row, W1. They have a quality selection of ready-to-wear bear-wear, soft and sheer deer-gear – but they are most famous for their made to measure evening suits.
These are seriously expensive, so you could always try the charity shop around the corner. I once picked up a slightly used Vers-hutch-y jacket there. It’s beautifully made but admittedly I’ll need to lose a few grams. And I’m sure threadbare orange gingham will come back into fashion soon.
Luckily for the Rabbit-about-Town who is high on class but short on brass, the upper echelons of bunny social class are tolerant of clothesless-ness. But there are a number of essential things to consider;

Luckily for the Rabbit-about-Town who is high on class but short on brass, the upper echelons of bunny social class are tolerant of clothesless-ness. But there are a number of essential things to consider;
1. Hair should be clean and straw free
2. Ears should be parted down the middle
3. Nails should be clipped and filed, with cuticles under control
4. Furballs should be expelled in advance of the event
5. A bow-tie for the Bucks, and a bloom for the Does
6. No tattoos or Bunberrys pattern fabric – too trailerpark.
Do not try what Neville did last year – at a prominent burrow-warming he thought he would be humourous and arrive in fancy dress. Tragically for Neville – who is a fairly portly Bunny – the only costume that would fit him was that of a sleek, red fox. The somewhat startled guests grabbed the nearest available defence that they had, and stoned him relentlessly until he stopped moving, then went about him with a broom handle. We had a really good laugh about it at the animal hospital after he came out of the coma, recovered his memory, and the broken jaw and ribs healed.
Classic.
