This is 'Dorothy'. She has arrived for a cleaning, a hairdo and some clothes.
She has a great start to her clothes as she retains her original socks and shoes.
Her wig is original but it was once a long curly wig that received a not too skilled haircut.
Original wigs add value to a doll like this so it is preferable to keep the wig and style it better. There is enough mohair left for a nice bobbed hairdo.
Schoenhut dolls are 100 year old painted wood objects. Many modern cleaners can damage the painted surfaces.
Here she is with one side of her face cleaned with a very mild cleanser.
And now she has had her face washed, her hair spruced and a new outfit put on.
She is ready to go home.
