Royal's Lilo

Lilo is captivating in her chic, black Parisian inspired cocktail gown, hat, and evening gloves. Her gown of nylon tulle over a shimmering satin underskirt, with bodice, gloves and hat of a close woven black jersey, lavishly spun with glamourous silver filament.

She wears a tea-ruffled crinoline of nylon net, with black satin lace trimmed panties, rhinestone earrings, nylon hose, and high heeled evening slippers. She has an elaborate rooted hair-do of striking silver saran, swept back into a dramatic chignon.

Rhinestone earrings, nylon hose, and highly styled evening slippers, complete this lovely ensemble. Debby's dramatic hair-do is of all rooted saran hair swept up into a high chignon.

Style 73/30

This may be a variation on the more commonly found Lilo, as it has the exact same fabric in the same cut, with just some added trim. The doll came with hair that doesn't fit a ponytail, or bun, so I just netted it. She may or may not have had a "hat" as the others did.

These two beautiful dolls didn't have a documented name but they are shown in two of their original outfits. The lavender was in a box marked blue...so she may have faded down. But I have at least two pictures of this dress stored,and they are all lavender, so who knows.

I knew if I kept digging, and others were helping me, that they would finally get a name. They're just another version of Lilo, per that advertisement in a Christmas Catalogue.

I found a stored picture of a Yellow Lilo...wish I had bid on her.

This is my doll with the blue dress. She's missing her net hat, and of course, all my girls kick off their shoes here, but she had already kicked them off somewhere else. The slip is ivory, and stitched in ivory, so evidently she didn't have a blue slip...although, I have the girl in pink, shown at the left, who could definitely trade off for one I could create for her sister in blue...so, after some quick work, here is the final picture of the three girls and their outfits.
