Darling vintage 1960 Eloise Wilkins marked 18" Vogue BABY DEAR doll.
Sweet little baby is surely in loved played with condition. No marks to vinyl limbs which are still light and even toned with a lovely pink tone remaining ; her body is stained and there are a couple of handsewn repairs that are quite obvious :-) Her original mommy made these repairs many decades ago now as this little one was her most favorite companion for a long time. I did clean her and removed the old, dried out squeaking mechanism inside her, and added some clean stuffing to fill out her chest once again.
She has a beautiful face with all painted features intact. I did add blush to her cheeks, but I will remove it if buyer so desires... I like a little 'Life' in my babies.
Her hair is a pretty shade of reddish blonde. This was the hardest part to capture in photographing her today, as it depends on the lighting as to the shade, but "in hand" it lends more toward blonde. It is full and brushes nicely but could use some more attention if desired.
I have included many photos of her in different lighting to give you a clearer idea of her features.
She comes with a nice layette INCLUDING her original pindot TOPPER (top only... bloomers have
vanished'), Underneath she wears a white flannel diaper with lace trim at the legs, and a white cotton knit undershirt that snaps in the front. For parties she has a fancy baby pink nylon and taffeta full dress that buttons to the back; in great condition but note a couple of the button holes, though functional, are worn. She has a newly made pair of cotton booties. I added a Carter's layette jacket with its matching bonnet (jack and bonnet are made of two different materials, so although the same print, different fabrics). Last, I gave her a rosebud print cotton kimono jacket for after bath.
Played with condition, not perfect... but you will LOVE HER!
