Her ethnic costume includes a tartan hat with black velveteen top and red pompon, tartan dress with ivory top, black velveteen vest with white trim, plaid sash, ivory panties and anklet socks, and pink vinyl Mary Jane shoes. Jointed arms and legs. Head turns when legs move. Sleep eyes close when she lies down. All original clothing, hanging tag, and box. Prized by collectors.
