Description

VINTAGE TUSS INC. - 23" PORCELAIN BISQUE, BLONDE WITH BROWN EYES, BRIDE DOLL FOR PARTS, CLOTHING & ACCESSORIES. INCLUDED: BRIDAL GOWN, TRAIN, LILY BOUQUET, BLOOMERS, PETTICOAT, SHOES, WIG, NECKLACE, EARRINGS, EYELASHES.
SO BEAUTIFUL, BUT SO BROKEN. NO PORCELAIN PIECES MISSING IN BACK, JUST A THIN REPAIR LINE.
I PATCHED THIS GORGEOUS DOLL AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, NOT HAVING THE MISSING PIECE AT HER CHEST/TORSO. YOU MAY OPT TO KEEP HER AS IS, CONTINUE THE RESTORATION, USE HER FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS, OR CLOTHING FOR ANOTHER DOLL.
THE BODICE OF GOWN CAN BE SLIGHTLY RAISED BY HAND TO HIDE MOST OF THE REPAIR (SEE CLOSEUPS), OR EVEN PLACING A DOT OR TWO OF GLUE WOULD KEEP IT IN PLACE.
ALTHOUGH DOLL DOES NOT HAVE ANY UNPLEASANT ODORS, HER OUTFIT APPEARS TO HAVE YELLOWED FROM A SMOKERS HOME (BEFORE I PURCHASED IT), AGE OR DISPLAYED OUTSIDE A CASE. AGAIN YOU MAY OPT TO LEAVE AS IS FOR AN ANTIQUE LOOK, OR GENTLY WASH BY HAND. LOTS OF HAND-WORK.
PARTS, WIG & ACCESSORIES ALONE HAVE GREAT VALUE, ESP. IF CAN BE USED ON ANOTHER DOLL!
HER SHOES ARE MISSING THE HEELS. IF YOU ARE CRAFTS ORIENTED, MAY HAVE FUN REPLACING THEM (CARDBOARD OR PAPER MACHE). QUESTIONS ARE ENCOURAGED. SALE IS FINAL.
