When you move her head from side to side her legs walk although they are wobbly. The hard plastic body of the doll has a bisque like quality and is in good condition with no splits or cracks. However, please note that she has a couple of tiny marks on her tummy (see photo #12). She has beautiful dark sleep eyes that move freely, beautiful blushed cheeks, and perfect ruby red lips. Bo Peep’s triple stitched wig is styled in its original coiffure, with perfect curls and no missing or cut strands, etc. Adorning Bo Peep’s head is her original open weave bonnet that is accented with a large bouquet of flowers. The hat ties at the neck with a black ribbon and I believe was never removed from her head until I removed it to take the photos. Please note that the hat, while very stable, does have a few missing strands in the weave of the hat (see photo #10). Tied to her right wrist is a pretty flower bouquet and her purple shepherds staff. Also attached to the bottom of the staff is a small sheep that is very worn. A reproduction Madame Alexander tag is tied to Bo Peep’s left wrist. This beautiful doll wears a tagged pink taffeta gown with flower print side panniers. The pink taffeta skirt appears to have been ironed, is faded, and has a tiny pin size hole under the left pannier. The bodice of the dress in in great condition and a little black cumber-bun that is accented with pink felt flowers adorn her waist. Under the gown, Bo Peep wears a cotton slip and pantaloons; both with tight waist elastic. Other than the fading and tiny hole, there are no other holes, tears, or stains on the clothing. Little Bo Peep also wears original socks and black side snap shoes that have fuzzy bottoms. The doll does not come with a stand or an original box. NOTE: The wrist tag is a reproduction.
