His hands were designed so he could put his hand on the back of Martha's chair and she could be sitting on a chair. Clothing is sewn in place with lots of details --darling buttons, gold braid, Martha has a lovely shawl that matches the flounce of her overskirt. they are costumed as a pair with similar fabrics....so nice!
