Darling and popular 18” TOP KNOT Baby Dear doll, first issued in 1960, designed by Eloise Wilkins.
 
COMES DRESSED IN 3 'MAL' ORIGINAL OUTFITS and INCLUDES her little lamb and blue blanket/hoodie
 
Gorgeous healthy glow to her lovely face with light blonde hair, a clean body and now has a WORKING squeaker. She has a sweet baby smell. If you have ever tried to photograph and ‘capture’ the true color of a Baby Dear’s hair, you know it depends on the lighting and angle; this baby has pretty light blonde hair… I took some photos outside in the sunlight to help capture her true coloring. Her hair is clean, shiny and just as it was when she was 'born'.
 
This happy baby is in excellent condition — fat and sassy, she sits up comfortably and poses ‘oh so many ways’. She  immaculately clean and her vinyl is even toned with no marks or stains.   Under her hair at back of her head has a lightest of light pink that barely shows, and certainly not when her beautiful hair; see photo.
 
I have made her a new white flannel diaper in the same pattern as her original and added white lace to the leg openings.. She has a  side-tie white undershirt that was made just for her. Newly made white booties are made to compliment her dress and made just like her original ones.
 
She has three outfits for her homecoming — ALL MADE BY MAL --
 
Gorgeous baby blue cotton and lace baby-style dress with matching slip and bonnet
Baby pink traveling outfit of soft flannel -- pants and jacket with attached hood
Baby blue knit pajamas just like the original Vogue ones; nice heavy knit with French terry lining for an extra cozy sleep time for baby in the cold weather.
 
All outfits in MINT, clean and pressed condition.
 
If you collect them, you know they are much like potato chips, and cannot be resisted or denied. Dress them often, as they look charming and enjoy being fussed over.
