Mattel puts out a lot of 'historical' theme dolls. Some of them are wonderful, and others are, well, not wonderful. I've always found it interesting that Mattel does so many 1920s dolls, since the idealized flapper has far less generous assets than the B girl. This doll was put out as an exclusive to Hallmark Gold Crown stores last Christmas, as the second doll in their second series of historically themed, greeting card bearing holiday dolls. She does not appear in any way on her enclosed card, which gave the Mattel designers more leeway in designing her costume than usual. The results are pretty spectacular!

THE DOLL
Quite possibly the best short hair Mattel's done in the past twenty years.

THE OUTFIT
Ready to roar in the '20s.

THE ACCESSORIES
Few but high in quality.

THE RESULT
Everybody needs a little black dress.
