Condition report:
Good overall condition. Lower legs will need some attention, as they are slipping out of the sockets. The front bodice of the organza dress shows a few small, faint yellow spots. The fabric is slightly wrinkled. The hair is slightly mussed but retains its curls. The vinyl is clean and free of scuffs or marks.
