Vintage 1980s Suzanne Gibson Soft-Sculpture Keepsake Doll

This is a vintage collector's cloth doll, commonly identified as part of the Suzanne Gibson 'Keepsake' collection from the early to mid-1980s. The doll is constructed with a soft-sculpture fabric body and a molded cloth head featuring painted facial details, including large wide-set eyes, pink lips, and subtle freckles. She has long, wavy synthetic blonde hair styled with fringe bangs and side-swept pigtails held by blue ribbon bows. The doll is dressed in an era-appropriate Victorian-revival style outfit consisting of a light blue and white polka-dot dress with a double-layered ruffled collar, lace trim, and long puff sleeves. Matching light blue leggings and tan fabric shoes with white ribbon laces complete the ensemble. The craftsmanship is indicative of high-quality mass production from the 1980s doll boom, prioritizing a 'hand-made' aesthetic. Condition-wise, the doll appears well-preserved in its original storage box with white tissue paper, showing minor flattening of the hair and light dust accumulation consistent with age. There is no visible staining, damp damage, or tearing to the delicate fabric or lace. The presence of the original box suggests a high level of collectible preservation, typical of the Reagan-era doll collecting trend that preceded the porcelain doll craze.
