Crafted from vinyl, the doll features Shirley Temple's signature golden-brown sausage curls, which have been restyled and are accented by a matching brown hair bow. She wears her factory-original pink sheer organdy pleated party dress, detailed with black velvet ribbon bands at the bodice and waist and finished with a cluster of white fabric flowers and a worn sash. Accessories include newer replacement white ankle socks and black patent leather strap shoes. Marked "IDEAL DOLL ST-17" on neck and back. Condition: The dress, hair, and accessories present age-appropriate wear, with some signs of use as depicted. **SHIPPING NOT RECOMMENDED Shipping is not recommended for this doll due to the extremely delicate sleep eye mechanism. The internal eye assembly cannot be properly secured for safe transit without compromising the structural integrity of the doll. While we take great care in packaging every item, we cannot ensure the safe arrival of this doll through standard shipping methods. Bidders who require shipping are strongly encouraged to reconsider purchasing this item. If a buyer chooses to have the doll shipped despite this recommendation, they do so entirely at their own risk.
