Here we see a Spin Master Liv doll sitting in a wicker chair, in a purple room. She's reaching out to a tray of tea with a teapot, which rests on a white wicker table. In her lap is a tiny china plate of pink cake. Her dress has orange sleeves and white cuffs but the largest part of the dress, including the bodice and skirt, are made of black fabric decorated with tiny white and orange candy corns. The skirt's hem is embellished with orange ribbon and white 1/8 inch rickrack trim.
