Harriet Hubbard Ayres was manufactured by Ideal in 1953 to promote the Harriet Hubbard Ayres cosmetic line. She was referred to as "the cosmetic doll". Little girls could learn the art of make-up and feel so grown up with this doll. Her face could be cleaned and made up again...time after time. She is the larger 20" size with a hard plastic Toni body, vinyl arms, and soft stuffed vinyl head made from Geon paste resin stuffed with cotton. She has blue sleep eyes with perfect lashes, beautiful facial coloring, and applied dark blonde wig still in the original set accented with flowers. Her face looks untouched and has never had the makeup applied. Her face and body has no damage or repairs.

She comes dressed in what could be her original dress. The skirt and sleeves are a brown, green, and white striped fabric, the bodice is a solid brown matching fabric, and her white cotton eyelet trimmed slip is attached. Her white cotton panties are trimmed in matching eyelet. On her feet are her original white rayon socks, but no shoes. Her clothing is in immaculate condition with no rips, tears, stains, or repairs.

She is in fabulous condition.
