"Introduced as Barbie's little sister, this was the first Skipper doll made.  She was

i
nches tall, shorter than Barbie.  She had her own fabulous fashions that included many that matched her big sister."
Here is a
beautiful
, vintage 1964 Skipper Doll with rooted, long blonde hair, bangs and blue eyes. She has not been altered or restored in any way.
Her body markings are: SKIPPER ©1963 Mattel, Inc.
Her right foot has "JAPAN" written across the ball of the foot.
She has been played with
but is in Excellent vintage condition.
There is no greasiness, splitting or cracks that I'm aware of; her face paint is very nice; her hair is thick and shiny; her limbs are tight and posable
.
This is a lovely, eminently displayable vintage doll looking for a new home. This listing is for the Skipper doll and the vintage, handmade pink velvet and white eyelet dress she is shown wearing in the first pic. No other packaging or accessories are available.
