THIS STUNNING, J.D. KESTNER CHILD DOLL IS ABSOLUTELY CAPTIVATING! HER FABULOUS BISQUE FACE, IS OH SO LOVELY, WITH A HIGH QUALITY, HIGHLY COLORED COMPLEXION. HER STUNNING BISQUE IS CLOSE TO FLAWLESS, WITH ONLY THESE TINY IMPERFECTIONS(?) NOTED: 1 TINY WHITE LINE TO THE LEFT CHEEK (SO BARELY NOTICEABLE) AND A MINISCULE PEPPER MARK TO THE UPPER SIDE OF THE RIGHT CHEEK. HER HUGE BROWN EYES ARE JUST BOTTOMLESS AND SLEEP BEAUTIFULLY. THEY RETAIN THEIR ORIGINAL LID WAX. THERE ARE GORGEOUSLY LONG, PAINTED EYELASHES, ALONG WITH EQUALLY LOVELY MULTI STROKE EYEBROWS. THE HEAD IS WITHOUT CRACKS OR HAIRLINES AND HAS WHAT APPEARS TO BE THE ORIGINAL PLASTER PATE. THE NECK IS INCISED K1/2/MADE IN GERMANY/14 1/4/164. HER SWEET LITTLE BOW SHAPED MOUTH SHOWS 4 LITTLE TEETH AND HER CHIN HAS THE SWEETEST OF DIMPLES. SHE WEARS WHAT APPEARS TO BE HER WONDERFUL, ORIGINAL, SIDE PARTED RINGLET WIG. IT IS GORGEOUS. THE BODY OF THIS ANTIQUE DOLL IS IN VERY AGE APPROPRIATE CONDITION AND VERY STABLE. ALL OF THE FINGERS ANS TOES ARE INTACT. THERE ARE THE USUAL PAINT RUBS AND SOME SMALL CRACKS TO THE COMPOSITION, IN SEVERAL AREAS - NOTHING UNUSUAL ON A DOLL OF THIS AGE. THE EXQUISITE ANTIQUE COSTUME IS JUST A MARVEL. SHE LOOKS JUST LIKE A LITTLE PRINCESS IN IT! THE FABRIC OF THE OFF WHITE DRESS IS UNKNOWN TO ME. THE DEEP LACE HEM AND COLLAR/YOKE ARE BEYOND DIVINE. YOU REALLY NEED TO SEE THEM IN PERSON. DUE TO AGE, THEY ARE A BIT SOILED. NOTHING UNUSUAL. THE BACK OF THE DRESS CLOSES WITH HOOK AND EYE CLOSURES. THE LOVELY COTTON AND LACE HALF SLIP HAS SOME MILD AGE STAINING, ALSO CLOSING WITH A HOOK AND EYE CLOSURE. THE SWEET PANTALOONS ARE STRAIGHT SHAPED, ANTIQUE, OFF WHITE COTTON, WITH A BIT OF LACE TRIM. THE BROWN SHOES WITH LACE MEDALLIONS ARE VERY LOVELY ANTIQUE REPLICAS. THEY LOOK WONDERFUL WITH THE OLDER STOCKINGS THAT SHE WEARS. HER OUTFIT IS TOPPED OFF WITH A LARGE, CREAMY SATIN HAIR BOW. THIS IS THE DOLL OF YOUR DREAMS - OR THE ONE THAT WILL THRILL YOUR SWEETHEART! WORDS OR PICTURES CANNOT REALLY DESCRIBE THE BEAUTY OF THIS QUALITY, KESTNER DOLL. THANKS, AS ALWAYS, FOR LOOKING!
