| 1960s 14R Miss Revlon-Type Fashion Doll |
After sharing a link to my blog post "2018 Dolls Given and Received," which includes information about an 18-inch circa 1960s high-heel fashion doll, the President of Motor City Doll Club informed me about a similar doll she wanted to sell.
We worked out the transaction and the doll arrived shortly thereafter.
 |
| Dressed as a bride, the doll arrived in better-than-expected condition. |
If memory serves me correctly, the previous owner indicated the doll's fashion was originally worn by another doll. The dress and cloche-type hat, which might have formerly been the top of a bridal veil, fit her perfectly.
Her white vinyl high-heel shoes fit perfectly, too.
I ironed the ribbons on her bouquet to refreshen. Otherwise, she is perfect.

| Her black rooted hair is shown from the back in this photo. |
This circa 1960s 14R doll has black rooted hair which is still silky and maintains the original curl.
She has brown sleep eyes with all eyelashes intact, and a one-piece stuffed vinyl body. She is actually a twin to the doll shown here that now lives with my friend Debra R. This doll wears her original drop pearl earrings.
 |
| The white satin dress has a netting overlay that does not extend to the back. The dress buttons in the back as illustrated in this full-view photo. |
She is a welcome addition to my collection, which currently includes three other Miss Revlon-type dolls that can be seen at the end of this post.

Hi Debbie. I follow you on BlogLovin' And when I get notice of a new post, I'm on my smartphone and I can get to your site. Sometimes when I try to leave comments I don't have the impression they get to you. So today I decided come to you via on my laptop. (Just wanted to let you know)
ReplyDeleteThat dolls is so very pretty. I love everything about her. She reminds me of dolls I had as a child except they were not black. But looking at her face, her hair, her outfit, really takes me back quite a few decades!!!
Hi April,
DeleteThank you for following me on Bloglovin. I do receive your comments and thank you for your effort in making sure that I do.
I have a quite an affection for dolls like these as they would have been the type I could have played with during my childhood had I known of their existence. There is something quite regal about this particular one and I am glad "she" found me.

She is truly gorgeous!!! The dress, shoes and accessories are breathtaking! I’m so enamoured of these tall fashion dolls, I’ve always wanted to own a couple...just need to add them to the holy grail list....
ReplyDeleteThank you, Julius! I hope you're able to find a couple in perfect condition. The white ones seem to be plentiful. It's difficult finding black ones and even more difficult to find a black one in the condition of this one. I was truly blessed/lucky/favored. :-)
