Ideal Shirley Temple Composition Doll 22 Wearing Replica Blue Scottie Dog Dress

  
Here is a fabulous 22 Shirley Temple doll. She is dressed from the movie "Our Little Girl". She has all her original mohair curls and they are soft and fantastic. Really one of the best Shirley wigs I have seen. Her face paint is all there. Her eyelashes painted and real are all there. She has clouded eyes but they do not detract from her great face with no cracks or crazing. Her body is in great shape with slight wear at the joints. Her stringing is a little loose and I will include the doll stand. But she can stand on her own with a little help. She is wearing her original shoes and replaced stockings.

I have not taken them off because the snap on these shoes is so fragile. Her feet feel all there.

She also has on matching blue panties. Her Blue Scottie and panties were made by Catherine Kauffman on Danville PA. Here is a story about Catherine. Catherine Kauffman, of Danville, Pa. Is a self-taught seamstress who started sewing on a treadle sewing machine at age 14 out of economic necessity.

One of 16 children, Kauffman's mother died when Kauffman was only 11. The family couldn't afford extras such as dolls. As a teenager, Kauffman honed her sewing skills working in a pajama factory and later as a seamstress in a hospital laundry. Sewing for dolls came much later after her daughter was born. Now Kauffman makes approximately 40 "Shirley Temple" outfits, creating patterns from pictures of the original costumes. Brigitte from France owns three outfits and is thrilled with the faithfully detailed reproduction Kauffman made for her composition Shirley Temple doll K. She researches her fabrics and creates each one to the finest detail. Please let me know if you have any questions. This is a really nice Shirley Doll.
