| 12" Baby Huggums by Madame Alexander. |
This 12" baby doll wears a white cotton dress with smocking around her collar. The dress also has puff sleeves and a classic set of pantaloons worn beneath the dress. I do not know if the little outfit is original to the doll because I have yet to see another one like it online. Baby Huggums has been produced for over fifty years and it is possible for her to wear many different versions of clothing.
Smocking is very expensive to produce, especially for a doll. So wherever this little one's outfit came from... it was not cheaply made. I have found similar smocking on a few baby Huggums from 2001 but not from 1977 as is inscribed on the back of her neck.
This doll also has the newer eyebrows from 1970s. The newer eyebrows are decals showing individual hair strokes. Huggums dolls from the 1960s have natural looking 'brushed' eyebrows.

More Reviews for Huggums:
I know this is several years later, but I'm pretty sure this is a Rosalina doll dress! They still make them, and this looks like the 10" doll dress - and theirs usually come with bloomers/pantaloons as well. I have one really similar that I got for my daughter's Huggums to expand her wardrobe!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Caroline for the information on Baby Huggums' smock dress! I have yet to expand her wardrobe...
