EXTREMELY RARE ORIGINAL VOGUE BABY DEAR TAGGED DRESS SETS, complete, and MINT CONDITION. Shown in Vogue doll book and I will include a brochure showing the dress. (see extra photos in listing next to this one.)
 
EXTRA PHOTOS SHOWN IN THE 'NEXT' LISTING IN MY SHOP AT $0 and 'unavailable' but for the purpose of adding more photos.
 
BOTH ALL ORIGINAL -- NO RESTORATION. -- both are the BEST / FAVORITES in my personal collection
 
Gorgeous healthy glows to their lovely faces; each with light blonde hair, (larger one slightly redder cast, but definitely blonde); clean bodies with intact Vogue tags at the nape of their necks. If you have ever tried to photograph and ‘capture’ the true color of a Baby Dear’s hair, you know it depends on the lighting and angle; these babies have shiney light blonde hair… not so much the reddish cast some of my pictures might show.
 
Both heads of hair are extra full with no thinning or missing plugs. As they are all original, their hair has NO frizzing and is soft, and extra shiney naturally as the day they were 'born'.
 
These happy babies are in minty condition — fat and sassy, they sit up comfortably and poses ‘oh so many ways’. Still have enough drap to the neck like a newborn babyl
 
THESE TWO ARE my BEST unrestored Baby Dear dolls and were part of my KEEPER collection, which I am now selling… and what better way than to present these two than as 'twin' Big and Little Sisters dressed ALL ORIGINAL in the RAREST DRESS Sets that are in MINT CONDITION.
 
(I will consider selling separately, but wanted to send them together if that works out.. just contact me).
 
This listing is for BOTH of the twins -- the 18" and the 12"
 
Included IDENTICAL layettes:
 
Pink 'roses' two-piece pajamas just like their original Vogue issue, "made by MAL"
RAREST ORIGINAL Vogue Baby Dear dresses with original booties and pink flannel diapers
 
Both Baby Dear dolls come to you immaculately clean and fresh with NO perceived flaws. No marks or discoloration. All even-toned vinyl. You can feel the original squeaker in the 18" doll which is, like all, not working and brittle.
 
All outfits in MINT condition ready for play and display... although she prefers to be cuddled. Toys not included.
 
These little girls are absolutely delightful and a COLLECTOR'S DREAM to be offered together.
 
If you collect them, you know they are much like potato chips, and cannot be resisted or denied. Dress them often, as they look charming and enjoy being fussed over."
