The paintwork on this Dolly Dressmaker is fine but the doll’s clothing is grubby and, although the light on the bed of the machine comes on, it’s not operating.

There is rust on the underside of the machine and within the battery compartment.

OK, so it’s not working, but it would make a great fixer-upper and it’s the only example I’ve seen with the doll in this clothing.

You can see an example of the toy operating on YouTube:

And I’ve found a reference to one sold in Germany 10 years ago:

The toy is 7 inches high and the base measures around 6 inches square.
