Due to age she’s got discolouration similar to other Barbie’s of the period.

I’ve got her original outfit. It’s not in poor shape just needs a wash - haven’t got around to it. Apart from the colour issue she’s not got any issues…she need some love and care.

I’ve been on the fence about keeping her. I think the lip fade is what maybe puts me off. Any ideas on restoring this. I have never attempted anything like this so any resources you have come across that are helpful I would appreciate them.

Thanks for your help and any suggestions in advance 💖

Some of these dolls are from when I was a kid. The majority aren’t in their original outfits.

I have thrifted and rescued numerous dolls on my thrifts and only getting around to setting up this little display.

I know that there are traditional collectors who keep their dolls in their original outfits and such but I’m not one of those. We’re all different right.

Many of these dolls I’ve rescued have found their way to me without their outfits…sometimes damaged hair…and I’ve used the opportunity to give them a new life.

I’m proud of them. They make me happy so I wanted to share them with the world.

Please be kind 💖 much love and appreciation 🥲

It’s not complete. I’ve thought about crafting the figures. I’ve watched some videos…so I might have a good.

I doubt there’s any chance I’ll find the figures though it might take a look of looking.

I thought it would be appreciated here!
