Cissy has been a loved doll and still has plenty of life and beautifying potential. She has her Original “Candy Striped Outfit” from 1956 less the bow-tie. She also comes with the FAO Turquoise Pant and Floral Rose Printed Sweater boxed set from 1956 minus the shoes. Extras include a pair of pink heels with a flower and lace on top but not sure what outfit these came from, red heels(also not sure of outfit) and the top (lid) part of her hatbox. I have CIRCLED IN RED every flaw/real issue I see (except 1 moth hole on the “other” sweater arm on backside not shown). All the seam splits are very minor and are approx 1/2″ long (approx 3/4″ on the hip) and there is normal stretching to shoe & waist elastic from playwear, ONE RED SHOE needs the top band reattached on outer side, hair has been played with but still extremely thick and no missing patches and workable, a 1″ hand sewn “fix at the top of the slip that you WILL see because its done with black thread, otherwise else is simply cosmetic. The only other item I’d mention is the “old” smell. NOT THE “MILK” SMELL from 50s dolls. This doll and her items came out of a trunk dated 1918. It had many pre-war & post war family items. This dolls simply smells of the trunk and the combination of all those old items. We have had her for 2 weeks and the smell has dissipated about 80% leaving her in the open so I’m sure the remainder will fade or can be washed out. I DID NOT CLEAN ANYTHING so she is overall a pretty clean doll with clean items. Her dress tag is slightly faded so if her dress (or anything) has been washed in the past, it was over 50 years ago. The clothes are not discolored, The whites are cream/off white and have not turned yellow. Mannequin holding dress is NOT INCLUDED. Please ask questions and see pics.
