This precious, petite ballerina will dance right into your heart in her charming pastel, sleeveless tutu! She's like a sweet little cupcake! Delicately painted lower lashes set off her soft grey-blue eyes. A peaches and cream complexion, blushed cheeks and rosebud mouth make their distinct contribution to her adorable countenance. Dressed like a sunny spring day, her bodice is a small-scale plaid with narrow straps and pastel floral lace peeking out from the square neckline. Pink ribbon lacing crisscrosses down the front to drop waist level. A textural striped ribbon fabric with a distinct sheen to it serves as a skirt overlay for the standup, wet look tulle layers underneath. The Kelly green ribbon edges become a finished hem and serve to support vivid pink velvet-look flowers on the upper end, at the drop waist, with a gather just below the top edge. This creates the illusion that the green gathers are petals or grass under the blooms. Bi-layer diminutive bows secure her side pony tails, which will become longer locks once released from her hairnet. Pastel pink ballet flats and leg lacing exactly match the tulle lattice patterned netting. She's just a perfect choice to celebrate Spring!

MY MISSION: I provide a doll for you that is fully ready for display on arrival at your home, beautiful and sturdy. Any flaws I detect which I could not remedy will be documented in the listing and doll priced accordingly. I keep extensive computer files on each listing with doll and box images.)The boxes, being the original homes for the dolls, are in variable condition, dependent on the original owner's care and storage. I will always mention box condition with the listing, or sleep eyes that open manually.

MY PROCESS: I remove from the box to re-style the hair and inspect/correct for anything that might be remiss. I feel this step is more important than listing "never removed from box." My patrons will know there will be no loose snaps, no tangled locks, damaged apron strings, no fragile, weakened rubber bands, ( I re-string when needed) no stained or faded clothing or problems with undergarments, no necklaces trapped in the neck or tresses. I restring with elastic cord, the preferred archival choice of "doll doctors."

MY PRICES: I calculate on: How readily available (or, conversely, hard to find,) whether complete with all accessories, my costs, my labor, condition of restored doll returned to box after completing the work. To include a doll stand with your order, please add $1.00 to your total.
