Under her dress, she has an antique cotton slip dress and drawstring pantaloons---both trimmed with lace. Her socks are white knit and she has white leather shoes with tiny bows and buckles. The pierced earrings with goldtone metal drops are from the 80s.

There are lots of old repairs and patches on her dress slip and her pantaloons have a lot of holes and stains. Her shoes are slightly too big. There are some tears and stains in the lace on the dress and age spots and yellowing. Please note: The antique books and doll stand are not included in the listing and are for display purposes only.
