Gigi
By Mary Hoyer

I just purchased this fabulous doll on eBay from Denver Doll Emporium. She had some problems, but I sent her to Wanda for a redo. She turned out fabulous! I had this special tagged Hoyer gown waiting for just the right doll, and here she is. This gown was specially made for a friend of Mary Hoyer in the late 50's. It is oh soooo Hoyer.

A friend of mine told me about this doll in a local antique mall. She was there for 8 months and no one ever purchased her , but she's mine now! I found a wonderful gown on eBay that was on another hard plastic doll. It isn't a Hoyer dress, but this girl sure looks wonderful.

Sandra Sue was sold in the Mary Hoyer stores and she would dress them as flower girls, etc, and use them in her doll displays. It's very rare to find a Sandra Sue in a tagged Hoyer dress, but here's one of them. She's in a scaled-down version of a gown made for the larger Hoyer dolls. She's absolutely stunning and oh, so mint!

I purchased this doll from a local woman. I found a bridal outfit on a Royal Doll on eBay. It's just so beautiful, complete, and makes Gigi look like the blushing bride she is.

I found this unmarked Gigi on eBay and purchased her from Becky Eliason. Her wig needed replacing, so I rewigged her with an original Gigi French wig. She is absolutely stunning now. I dressed her in a vintage 50's school dress in pink and blue with navy blue centersnap shoes.

I purchased this doll at a local auction house in a boxlot of dolls. She was nude, so I dressed her in a tagged lavender Hoyer gown topped with a tagged rabbit stole, matching headband, nylons, and white centersnap Hoyer shoes. The outfit was in the trunk of clothing included with the Gigi I purchased on eBay this month (November 2003).

This fabulous mint doll came with a trunk full of tagged clothing and accessories. It was offered on eBay, but didn't bring the reserve. I emailed the seller and I purchased her for a VERY reasonable price. I restyled her hair in a 50's style and dressed her in a tagged Hoyer bathing suit with matching terrycloth robe and slippers. Absolutely stunning!

This is one doll you don't see every day. This is Vicky! A 10 1/2" fashion doll created by Mary Hoyer to compete with the fashion dolls of the day...Little Miss Revlon, Miss Coty, etc. This doll is extremely rare! She comes in tagged clothing complete with a whole wardrobe of clothes & accessories. Absolutely stunning!
