This vintage doll is about 15 inches tall. In the 1960's she was sold as Coquette. She is constructed of hollow plastic and, like many of the vintage dolls, her hair was horribly dry and looked unsalvageable. I had to do a lot of work on her hair -- detangle, wash and condition, and style strategically.
Coquette basically had short hair on her scalp, with two long strands at the sides for the pigtails.Her hair would have looked very pretty displayed in the original box over 50 years ago, but the hair was definitely not made to last.
This makeover turned out well, and she is now wearing a dress from a Helen Kish doll.
