Doll-A-Day 251: Bettina by Sebino

  Today's doll is one that truly qualifies as 'The One That Got Away'. She's Bettina.

 I had Bettina, but due to financial requirements at the time, I had to sell her. I have regretted it ever since.

Her vinyl has such a glowy, realistic skin tone.

She was such a beautiful doll that I had a hard time trimming down my photo selections for her auction listing! She was just so photogenic that they were all gorgeous.These are all I have left.

Bettina was made in Italy by Sebino.I got her at the auction where I bought so many Italian dolls that I was dreaming about sorting Italian dolls.

Look at that curl. She was in such nice condition.

She's about 16" tall.

She's a little short legged and stubby. I can relate!

She's strung, so her legs and arms can go out to the sides as well as up and down.

She kind of has 'man hands'.Actually, they're very Sasha-like. What's the connection?

She has sleep eyes.This picture gives a good view of her eye make up. Also notice her neck joint.

 She was made somewhere around 1967.

The groovy dress she's wearing is The Turned On Mini dress for Ideal's Crissy. It looks great on her though.

The sleeves are lined in satin fabric.

 I doubt I'll have another opportunity to own a Bettina doll, and if I do, she probably won't be as beautiful as this one.
  See you tomorrow for another doll.
