During a trip to Foshan, China, I was captivated by an energetic lion dance. Its vibrant movements and festive red colors inspired this Labubu doll outfit.

Part 1: The Lion’s Spirit – More Than a Dance

In Southern China, lion dances aren’t just performances – they’re a 500-year-old language of courage. Every flick of the mane and tap of the paw tells a story: defeating demons, bringing luck, celebrating life’s victories.
Traditional lion heads have fierce horns, but Labubu’s courage is quieter. It’s in the way she stands tall on your shelf, ready for any adventure you dream up.

Part 2: Design Inspiration & Color Scheme

The lion dance in Foshan, China, was all about passion and celebration. I wanted to capture that spirit by choosing a bold red as the main color for the Labubu outfit. Although the embroidered lion head patch on the front isn’t handcrafted by me, it perfectly reflects the majesty and energy of the performance.

Labubu Lion Dance Hat

The hat mimics a lion’s playful expression: curved brows embroidered with white thread, fluffy pom-pom ears that bounce with every step.

Labubu Red & White Jumpsuit

Inspired by the contrast of ancient temple walls – crimson for passion, white for purity. The chest embroidery blends 5 shades of thread to create a lion face that seems to wink under sunlight.

Part 3: Crochet Technique & Details

To bring the outfit to life, I used double crochet. This technique creates a rich, layered texture that is both warm and visually dynamic. The long stitches give the fabric depth and a soft, cozy feel that reminds me of the rhythmic flow of the lion dance.
