This is a Beautiful 1958 Sweet Ann fashion 30" doll from Deluxe Dolls. This doll is what may be referred to as a cousin to the Sweet Rosemary, Darling Debbie, Betty Bride, Cinderella and Beautiful Gail Dolls. She came out a year later...when Deluxe Dolls decided that they weren't sure about the soft bodies of these original dolls. Instead of a soft body, Sweet Ann has a hard plastic body jointed at the shoulders and hips. She has the same head as her cousin dolls, except they put long hair on her. Her complexion is literally peaches and cream! Her blue eyes sparkle! She's so clean she glistens from head to toe! Sweet Ann is wearing her original clothing, a gorgeous red satin ball gown with a silver accented white fabric in the front. Tiny bunches of posies accent both the bodice and the skirt of her gown. She's also wearing matching red satin gauntlets, a white buckram underskirt, her original undies and silver high heels decorated with the original ornament. She's wearing beautiful faux pearl earrings and necklace in perfect condition and a Rhinestone accented Tiara for the finishing touch.
Her shiny golden Blonde hair is in the original hairnet. It's obvious that his doll has never been played with!
I consider this doll to be Mint in the Box because when these dolls were made by Deluxe, they put their satin gowns on before the dye was set, so it's a factory flaw and not unusual for these dolls to have some stains on their arms and legs from the Fabric. I will do my best to get a good photo of a stain.
The box is in excellent condition and has kept this doll safe for nearly 50 years...it taken care of, it will keep her safe for another 50 years. Please email if you'd like to see a photo of the box.
Please contact me for the web address of a gentleman who makes stands to fit these 30 inch dolls. He even engraves a little plaque for you.
