I found the dress on a frozen leg Nancy Ann so this doll is a replacement doll. Let me tell you about her. She is marked Made in Japan (see photo). I have strung her with Nancy Ann molded socks and short arms. And her original top notch head is wigged with a Nancy Ann original wig. She has molded bangs and beautiful face paint. Ribbon is a replacement and is in a halo around her wig. Panties are original Nancy Ann international doll panties. This little cutie is the darling size of the Japan dolls a little shorter than the pudgy tummy dolls. The RARE dress is in great condition, no holes or tears. The blue has a little fading and I dont know if the gold ribbon was originally red or always gold. Overall this is a marvelous find for any collector of NANCY ANN. Her face paint looks to be sort of messy around the eyes and lips. Please keep in mind that the doll itself is a Made in Japan and is a replacement doll. The DRESS is original Nancy Ann. If someone has an original Nancy Ann Japan 1146 or Japan with FAN or Japan, rather than Made in Japan, This is a bargain dress! The dress also looks darling on any other Nancy Ann doll. Personally, I have been collecting Nancy Ann for about 15 years and my grandmother and aunt worked in the factory in San Francisco. I think this little one has beautiful face paint, but you are correct in noting that the Made in Japan dolls have a “different” look. To me this one’s face looks a bit like the Made in Japan babies. I think her face is very sweet, but collectors all have their preferences! Thank you for looking! I’m happy to answer questions.
