What a gorgeous Girl! She has the most gorgeous blue almond shaped eyes I have ever seen. Made for the french market she has pierced ears with pearl earrings and thick eyebrows like her Jumeau sisters . Sweet and lovely she stand 16" tall and one of the rarer Kestners only marked with her size number 4 at the base. She is on her original kid leather body which is still strong with few patches and in very good condition without any leaks. Her Bisque is excellent without ha...irlines, cracks or repairs. She is all original and still is wearing her dark brown long human hair wig. She is wearing an original cream under skirt with lace trim, her gorgeous silk cream stockings and over it her original factory floor length cream Gown intricately constructed with inset yoke and scalloped frills over bishop sleeves. It has a moth hole on the left but that can be easily stiched up. I would no change it as the dress looks just wonderful on her. What a gorgeous Bebe.Mark: 4Excellent condition.
