Here is Toni in her Spring green dress.This dress is made of light green organza and lined with mint green cotton fabric. The neckline and puffed sleeves are trimmed with tiny lace.
The front and skirt are trimmed with pink satin ribbon and white lace.
This Toni doll is a newly rescued doll. She is a walking doll, made in 1954 and she has rare green colored eyes. I have only seen blue eyed Toni dolls. There were also rare brown eyed Toni dolls.
When she came to me, last month, her hair was so dirty that it was gray. I gave her a shampoo twice and "permed " her hair. It is now styled in the original Toni doll style.
With her green eyes, I decided that she needed a green dress and found this green organza to make a 1950's style party dress for my "Green
Eyed Girl".
She is wearing her original Toni doll walking shoes. They are made a little wider than other Toni doll shoes, to provide stability for the walking dolls.
Last month, I said that my First Communion
Toni would be posted next, but this rescue came my way and she needed a green dress to
match her eyes. So Spring green took priority.
I will post my First Communion Toni in May,
which is the month of First Communions.
