Sweet and lovely Minette.... She's a one of a kind hand crafted kitty cloth doll made with unique vintage and antique materials and other fine bits.
Her body is 100% cotton and her interior is poly fill. Her face is embellished with vintage glass multicolored rhinestone button eyes, pale pink glass rocaille beads from the 1920s's for her nose and soft pinky rose velvet ears. She has such lovely blushing cheeks. Minette has a fun party hat made of pink silk, antique lace and antique star sequins.
The upper part of her dress is made with pink silk with large rolled rosettes. The lower part is teastained textured guipure lace over a pink silk underskirt. The lace overlay is embroidered with vintage sequins and beads. Her feet are embellished with antique tiny star sequins, these were manufactured in the 1930's and given to me from a family member, I love and cherish these tiny sequins.
This is a one of a kind, hand crafted object of art. Because of the fine and antique materials, it may not withstand regular or rough play, therefore, it is best kept as display on a shelf, chair, or bed. This is not a toy for small children.
