Pat Thompson Vlasta Dolls OOAK Zelma, 1920's One Of A Kind, Best Vlasta Design - $1,800 - (Peachtree City, GA)

THIS IS TRULY A ONE OF A KIND PHENOMENAL DOLL. I PURCHASED THIS DOLL DIRECTLY FROM PAT AT THE NEW YORK TOY FAIR IN NEW YORK IN 1988. I PURCHASED HER WHOLESALE FOR $4,200.00. (I HAVE THE ORIGINAL RECEIPT,)I THOUGHT THE DOLL WAS FABULOUS WHEN I PURCHASED HER AND AFTER FOLLOWING PAT'S CAREER I THINK IT IS THE BEST DOLL SHE EVER DID. THIS IS PAT"S WORDS. "HERE WE PRESENT ZELMA APRICOT CORAL SILK PLEATING AND SHIMMERING IRRIDESCENT BEADING OF THAT ERA (20's). ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL DOLLS I HAVE MADE AND FROM THE WAY SHE STANDS SHE KNOWS IT. HER AFGHAN DOG "WILSON" KNOWS SHE SPECIAL TOO. ALL THE FABRICS USED ON THIS DOLL ARE VINTAGE FABRICS NEVER TO BE DUPLICATED." THERE ARE A COUPLE OF IMPERFECTIONS IN THE FABRIC THAT YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTOS BUT THESES FABRICS ARE ARE OVER 80 YEARS OLD. OVERALL THE FABRIC IS IN GREAT SHAPE.AND WHERE THE FABRIC IS SLIGHTLY SEPARATED IT CAN BE SEWN BACK TO 100% PERFECTION. FROM THE POSITION OF THE DOLL STANDING I DOUBT WHETHER ANYONE WOULD NOTICE ANY FABRIC IMPERFECTION. THE DOLL COMES WITH A CUSTOM STAND, THE DOLL IS 27" TALL WITHOUT HEADDRESS. WITH THE HEADDRESS WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING IN CREAM FEATHERS) IT IS 30-31". THE AFGHAN DOG IS FABULOUSLY WELL DONE AND IT IS TOTALLY REALISTIC.
