Pastel fringed floral shift with white bow cape and pointed hood

A storybook gnome-cum-fairy figure: pastel textured floral shift, ruffled petticoat hem and pointed embroidered hood. The deliberately rude gesture with a star-tipped glove punctures the sweetness, making the whimsy feel subversive rather than twee.
