Body Construction
The Dollikin Ballerina is the same doll as the regular Dollikin, but she has a few specific traits. Her hair is usually black, and is styled into either a chignon with severe widow's peak, or a short fluffy bubblecut. There was also a Dollikin Ballerina with pink hair.This doll did not generally have pierced ears. Her eye paint is exaggerated, with long black painted lashes at the outer corner of each eye, and black eyebrows. Click here to see a closeup of the doll at left. A blonde doll with ballerina-type facepaint in brown has also been found.
Markings
Markings are the same as Dollikin.Clothing
The Dollikin Ballerina seems to have been available in a wide variety of costumes, generally in satin with lace or tulle. All came with cotton tights and soft vinyl slippers. The one pictured at right wears a very stiff ivory-colored (may have been white at one time) costume with ivory, purple and green lace sleeves, with the same lace forming the skirt over a layer of tulle. The doll above wears a tutu edged with silver braid, the pink or lavender tulle skirt and sleeves are covered with silver dots. Another costume was a red long sleeved dress which looks more like an ice skating or majorette outfit.Packaging
This doll's wonderful packaging is typical of the Dollikin line. The graphics illustrate her posability in vivid detail.Thanks to Valerie Myers for help with this page.
