This is one of several sizes made of this most highly sought after baby doll -- especially at this time of year with the Christmas holiday approaching! This is the FAMOUS Ideal baby doll who Natalie Wood cuddled in the movie -- The Miracle on 34th Street. All of us grew up watching this film and came away with "I Believe" no matter what age we were at the time. A warm reminder that our pure, childhood thoughts and dreams are worthwhile.
This is a GORGEOUS Baby! These dolls were made by Ideal Toy Co and marketed under the name "Baby Beautiful". They came in a wide range of sizes as well as with brown eyes (this one), or blue eyes. Baby Beautiful is GORGEOUS in her equally gorgeousvintage white cotton batiste dress, original slip, and a coordinating cotton organza ruffled bonnet. She wears vintage blue oilcloth shoes and silk socks with a blue stripes I have added a BEAUTIFUL pink silk taffeta coat -- the silk is still strong (not fragile; all clothing in excellent to mint condition. Her dress is made of ultra-soft white cotton batiste fabric with gorgeous embellishments and tailoring reflecting its fine design; the puff sleeves are a bit short to the composition so I have tacked them down to better display this lovely, lovely outfit. Her white cotton embroidered bonnet is 'to dies for' and compliments her dress and coat.
Baby herself is in MINT CONDITION having been fully restored. Lovely brow eyes open and close perfectly. Her cloth body is strong and intact with overall darkening/patina to the fabric; I have added a nice undershirt to offset the darkening from showing through her lovely clothing. These dolls are very hard to find in this condition in any size... WOULDN'T SHE LOOK FABULOUS ... GREAT HOLIDAY CHRISTAS PRESENT!
PERFECT GIFT for a Special "Someone"~
