If I were to say that I’ve been wearing a bunny costume today, what image would it bring to mind?

It's my understanding that the "Easter bunny" derives from Pagan fertility rites. That it's been co-opted into association with the Christian (Catholic) spring observances was just another way the old church recruited converts.

Just like they stole Christmas from the pagans celebrating the longest night of the year. Festival of Lights, trees, candles, etc have nothing to do with Jesus’ birth.
 
Having seen the bunnies from Atlanta's Playboy Club play basketball when I was in college, I think first of those bunny outfits.

The bunny was a Hare... Hares and Lapwings contrived to make the myth. Lapwings and Hares both form scrapes in the earth. The hares would be seen running around and their 'nests' were easily mistaken for the birds', so it was thought they laid eggs.

So, Aester (Pagan goddess of Spring) bunnies had Easter eggs.

simple version, obvs.
 
Well?

To be honest, I thought of my daughter dressed up for a kindy day years ago, in the cutest little fluffy bunny suit, aged four. But that's so very wrong, so I'll content myself with an image of you in a onesie, with little bunnies all over, floppy pink ears and a basket full of eggs. That'll do for a Sunday morning ;).

It was probably more like a large version of your daughter’s. They picked me as they needed someone who could fit in it!

It wasn’t exactly that shape-hugging!

I’m not sharing the actual photos, for obvious reasons. But this is at least close (perhaps a bit less sinister looking).
