She is dressed in a DARLING antique peach silk crepe dress trimmed in white lace, with a FANCY blue silk ribbon sash!   Her tiny antique white wool crocheted faux "ermine" cape trimmed in blue keeps her quite warm, and fastens at the collar with the TEENIEST of antique brass and blue enamel pins!  Her chapeau is quite DASHING; made of antique brown velvet embellished with plumage and blue and black striped silk ribbon, it sets off her hair and face to PERFECTION!   Underneath she wears an antique cream lace chemise with peach ribbon accents, a vintage pair of white cotton pantaloons, a newer but nicely made pair of white cotton crocheted stockings and tiny white leather shoes with little rosettes!  To complete her outfit she wears dark CORAL earrings in her PIERCED EARS; just the PERFECT TOUCH for such a DEMURE and BEAUTIFUL BEBE! She has SUPERB facial modeling and painting with a SWEET yet HAUGHTY look, and FABULOUS GORGEOUS BLUE paperweight eyes!  Her individually painted eyelashes and MULTI STROKED eyebrows with BEAUTIFULLY defined lips and CLOSED MOUTH emphasizes the DRAMATIC LOOK of the more SOUGHT AFTER early BLOCK LETTER BEBES!  She has her ORIGINAL antique auburn colored mohair wig with DELIGHTFUL long sausage curls, and still has her original CORK PATE! Her bisque is beautiful, with EXCEPTIONAL COLORING, but she is in "AS FOUND" condition due to old but very fine hairlines on her forehead that have been PROFESSIONALLY REINFORCED to prevent further damage; they are not visible to the naked eye from the outside unless you light the head from the inside, and in no way detracts from her BEAUTY!  The back of head is marked with an incised "0/0";  when do you EVER see this TINY SIZE?   She has a FULLY JOINTED composition body that is in MINT CONDITION with no apparent repaints or restorations----just PERFECT!
