Another fine Lillian Vernon Exclusive doll, this Halloween, cat-costumed doll is fantastic! Ballet style, her costume has a sweet faux fur neck ruff with central red orange rhinestone. The fur is repeated on her wrists and she has a black velveteen tail in back which is kinked into curves. Her hairstyle is very like Shirley Temple curls, quite thick and abundant. Four layers of lattice- pattern tulle, sprinkled in silver metallic dots, alternate between a plain hem edge and a trimmed hem edge of her tutu skirt. The trim is a sliver thin, orange satin ribbon which pops on the black ground, such a sizzling effect! Strapless bodice and leotard leg openings have a satin banding and a top matching tulle layer. Mystery eye mask has a red orange rhinestone at each temple and cat ears have a side offset orange satin bow which coordinates with the double bow side offset at her waist. Halloween Cat is elegant and poised, with a certain formality not often seen with other dolls in Halloween attire. I believe it is the Ballerina style which sets this doll apart and she is nothing short of amazing!

MY MISSION: I provide a doll for you that is fully ready for display on arrival at your home, beautiful and sturdy. Any flaws I detect which I could not remedy will be documented in the listing and doll priced accordingly. I keep extensive computer files on each listing with doll and box images.)The boxes, being the original homes for the dolls, are in variable condition, dependent on the original owner's care and storage. I will always mention box condition with the listing, or sleep eyes that open manually.

MY PROCESS: I remove from the box to re-style the hair and inspect/correct for anything that might be remiss. I feel this step is more important than listing "never removed from box." My patrons will know there will be no loose snaps, no tangled locks, damaged apron strings, no fragile, weakened rubber bands, ( I re-string when needed) no stained or faded clothing or problems with undergarments, no necklaces trapped in the neck or tresses. I restring with elastic cord, the preferred archival choice of "doll doctors."

MY PRICES: I calculate on: How readily available (or, conversely, hard to find,) whether complete with all accessories, my costs, my labor, condition of restored doll returned to box after completing the work. To include a doll stand with your order, please add $1.00 to your total.
