Walter Crane's rendering of Bo-Peep is as follows:—The bodice yellow, full and rather low in the neck, where it is gathered into a band; the upper skirt of blue cotton is full and looped up over a bright pink under skirt, which is just long enough to leave the yellow-clad ankles and feet clearly visible; folded yellow waistband; the hat is a Dolly Varden shape in straw, trimmed with flowers or bows, and tied on to the head with a piece of pink or blue ribbon; the crook ornamented with a bunch of blue, pink, and yellow ribbons.
