TLC Vintage Barbie Clone Nurse Outfit Francie Sized Hong Kong Doll Clothes

Description

In this listing we have a cute, but rather TLC vintage doll nurse’s uniform. This outfit was made for a doll in the 1960’s that while was based on vintage Barbie, I am guessing is more petite since the dress doesn’t fit on Barbie but can be worn by Francie as a very high waisted dress. It’s not a perfect fit, so it might be better on a smaller dolls. This outfit consists of a white cotton dress with a large collar and on the left side of the bodice a painted red cross, a pair of white panties (which I have not tried on Francie to see if they fit), and a nurse’s “cap” with a red cross painted on the front. The dress looks like a shirt and a skirt, but they are all one piece. The dress closes in the back with two metal snaps and the panties had an elastic waist, but the elastic has snapped. These clothing pieces were made in Hong Kong. This listing is for the outfit alone, the doll shown is not included.
This outfit is in TLC shape, it’s not as terrible as it could be, but it has a lot of issues. For starters I did wash all of the clothing pieces in soap and some Oxiclean, but they could use a much more in depth cleaning. I also did some light ironing, but again, it could be done better by someone else. Staring with the dress. It has a decent amount of staining. Some of it is pretty obvious. There are some dark brown stains to the front of the skirt on the bottom on the left and the right, on the left side of the skirt, on the front collar on the left and going down the bodice on the left, on the back of the left sleeve, and on the back of the skirt below the waist on the left side. There’s also a lot of other small spots of staining and discoloration. They are hard to see in pictures, but more obvious in person. There’s also several spots where there’s excess threads. The front of the collar has a lot of threads. There’s also threads at the sleeves and the bottom hem of the skirt including at the front. There is a lot of tarnish to the snaps at the back at the bottom snap has mostly come off on one side. The back hem of the skirt at the top has a lot of fraying and excess threads. The cross on the bodice is a bit faded. The underwear has a lot of issues. It also has lots of spots of staining and discoloration. The elastic is totally shot. The leg holes are unhemmed and have a lot of fraying to them. There’s also a lot of threads at the waist from the inside hem. The hat also has a lot of stains and discoloration. There are some excess threads at the top point on the back. The top point is a little off centered compared to the cross. The hat doesn’t match up perfectly in the back seam, one side is longer than the other. There are some wrinkles that got sewn down along the seam and at least one spot where the hem wasn’t sewn down when it was hemmed. It does tend to want to stand up on Francie’s head like a Pope hat. For the pictures of the hat on a doll, there's a pin in back holding it. The pin is not included. Please examine all pictures to see the exact condition of this doll outfit and please keep in mind some issues are more visible in person compared to pictures.
