This beautiful lady was bought from her original owner this last summer. She said she was never allowed to play with it and the condition makes me believe that is true. The dress in NOT tagged, but fits well and is definitely made with attention to detail. There are applied sequins on the skirt, but one is missing on the shoulder. Her panty hose and shoes have seen better days. There are holes in the stockings and the straps are broken on the shoes. In the pictures though please notice the blush still rosy on her knees. She has on no underwear but the dress has built in slips. The truly remarkable part of this doll is her hair which is still in its original set. There are barrettes and the remnants of her original hair net. I found the flower head piece in the box with her, but it is in rough shape. It has some little stones in it similar to the dress so I thought it went with. Overall the facial coloring is just gorgeous. I hope the pictures do her justice and I hope someone wants to give her a new home for Christmas. A very kind e-bayer sent me the following information about her–She is #2097 from 1955, she is missing an ostrich fan as well as her undies! The flowers do go with the gown, she is also minus her necklace. Thank you for your interest. I will try to address your questions one at a time. There is a tiny “boo-boo” on the very end of her nose. It is about the size of a common pin head. Her dress is really pretty. The stone on the shoulder in the front is missing. Upon further examination, there appear to be some tiny stones at the seam lines on the front panel. There are no cracks, I checked her legs and body. There does appear to be a small dot of paint? On her lower left arm. I will try to add a picture of this to the description. I will see what I can do or message me and I will send it to you directly On her lashes, they all appear to be there I THINK. In the center of the left eye, there may be a couple of lashes missing? I have to really get in her face to see it… If you think of anything else, please ask as this not the kind of doll I normally deal with.
