Description |
Porcelain doll with ceramic head, upper chest, and forearms. Her upper arms, lower body, and legs are stuffed with woodchips. The right knee is damaged and falling apart. Above the porcelain forearms is leather that then goes into cloth wraps. Presumably the rest of the parts stuffed with woodchips are like this. She has a white Warner's Rust Free corset with blue lacing, as well as white linen bloomers with a light blue crochet trim. Black stockings are permanently attached to her legs along with a pair of moccasins with multi-color decreative beading. Above the corset is a white linen sleeveless undershirt with blue stitching. It opens down the front in the middle and is secured with a small, rusted safety pin at the top. She is wearing a mid-sleeve, "apron" dress that goes to her knees. The apron portion goes front to back. The neckline and the ends of the sleeves have white lace. The edges of the apron on both sides also have white lace until the waist where there are 2 black bows tied from ribbon on either side. The ribbons meet around her waist to create another bow. On the back a V is cut out from the neckline lined with lace. There is also a black ribbon at the top that can be tied to secure the dress. Her hair is bronze, moderately wavy, and styled in a bob around her ears with bangs. It is shorter and uneven in the back, the number 8 can be identified on her neck. Her skin is pale with rosy cheeks, brown eyebrows, and black eyelashes. Her eyes are dark brown and do move but occasionally get stuck. She has a small mouth with red lips slightly open to reveal some of her top teeth. A- White linen sleeveless shirt with blue stitching on the outside trim to hem the edges. There is a prominent vertical fold through the center. The left and right cut outs for the arms are unsymetrical. On one side on the shoulder of the sleeve there is a horizontal cut with blue stitching. One piece of that fabric has a 2 holed white button sewn with white thread. The other has a roughly 1.8 cm slit to place the button into. On the side with the slit to the right of the fold going down from the neckline is a small rip in the fabric. B- Pijama set, top and bottom. Both pieces are made of the same fabric, a light blue linen. Both are also edged with a black and white striped bies tape.

Both buttons are slightly pearlescent white with 4 holes and sewn in with white thread. On the left side is a breast pocket with decreative bies tape. On the edge of the sleeves is a decreative detail also lined with bies tape. Around the waist is an ovular self-belt sewn on in the back and with the 2 buttons in the front. On the left side the button is not a perfect match. The bottom of the shirt has waves lined with bies tape. The inside edges of the front where the button up opens are also lined.
