"The Princess That Wore a Rabbit-skin Dress" is an American fairy tale from Kentucky, collected by Marie Campbell in Tales from the Cloud Walking Country, listing her informant as Uncle Tom Dixon.
[2] Others of this type include Catskin, Cap O' Rushes, Donkeyskin, Allerleirauh, The King who Wished to Marry His Daughter, The She-Bear, Mossycoat, Tattercoats, The Bear and The Princess in the Suit of Leather.
The daughter's mare told her to ask her stepfather for a dress of silver; with some help from fairies, it took a year and six months.
This is an unusual variant of type 510B, where the man who wishes to marry her is commonly her actual father.
In other variants, such as "Catskin" and "Mossycoat", her father usually threatens to marry the heroine to an unwanted suitor who is not a relative.
