Alexander-kins Bent Knee Walker in 1957 Flower Girl #398 -- Elegant sheer patterned ivory organdy long dress with organdy lace-trimmed slip -- baby blue satin bows and ribbon sash, lace all around. Very sweet lace bandeau with tiny blue and pink velvet flowers and taffeta undies. A seldom-seen beautiful example of the Alexander-kin 1957 offerings. Doll is clean and neat, newly restrung. Walker works fine and arms hold a good pose. Beautiful full curly hair with single-stitch center part, good face color and lip paint. Her right cheek has a small scuff, looks far worse in photo than in person. I believe the doll itself to be much newer than the outfit, her skin has a pinker cast than the earlier bent knee walkers. Still, a very pretty doll.This outfit can be seen on page 90 of the World of Alexander-kins book, although that example does not show it with a bonnet. This one is tagged “Alexander-kins” and is fresh and sweet, newly pressed as photos will show. Two pinholes are shown on the lower left hem of dress, possibly from a price tag. I see two tiny red dots right at the hemline of dress, and they will not come off. The bandeau did not have flowers when I got it with the dress and slip; there are a couple of brownish marks on the top -- possibly from a ribbon or staple. I would have given it a soak in Oxyclean but really didn’t want it to be a much whiter shade than the dress. Up to you -- the flowers are only hand-stitched on so can easily be taken off. I have replaced the gold elastic chin strap. Included are tiny hand-made ivory leather shoes with little buttons and some nylon socks. Also a little flower basket that I made for her -- can’t have a flower girl going out without a flower basket. I’ve given all the details about this little doll and her outfit that I am able to, so please read description and ask any questions before offerding. Photos show detail better than I am able to tell. Returns only if item has been grossly misrepresented. Thank you for your time.
