Vintage Vogue Baby Dear Doll Eloise Wilkins 1960 Signed on Leg 22" Orig. Clothes

Description: This 18” beautiful vogue baby dear is in good used and loved condition, given her age. I received this doll for Christmas - wanting her since I first spotted her in our local toy store. For a long time, she went everywhere I did, and I took very good care of her. She shows some age, her hair is a bit thin. There was at some point some repair to her leg where it is sewn to the body. You can see in the photos. I do not remember how that "injury" came about. There is some staining on her back - I am sure it was water as I occasionally wanted to wash her hair. She is wearing her original light blue sleeper pajamas with her soft flannel diaper underneath. Also included is a vintage blue baby dress. She only came with the sleeper which is original. The dress is an added piece.She is being sold as a vintage pre-owned doll in stated condition and as shown in photos. Some Baby Dear History: Baby Dear dolls were made by Vogue Dolls, Inc., starting in 1960. The Boston-based company had successfully outfitted dolls in its signature clothing designs for years. However, although well-known artisans did not design most Vogue dolls, Baby Dear was designed by famed storybook illustrator Eloise Wilkin. Since 1944, Wilkin worked as a Little Golden Book illustrator for Simon and Schuster. She spent years sketching out a design for a baby doll, finally creating a clay model that she hand-delivered to Vogue founder Jennie Adler Graves. Vogue christened the doll Baby Dear, releasing it for sale in 1960.
