It is 16" tall, has a "twist & turn" waist but does not bend at the elbows or knees, and the dress has a zipper in the back. I didn't check to see if it's a wig or rooted hair. <br />IMO, it's a beautiful portrayal of a beautiful, classy lady and I'm happy to add her to my doll family!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-217917876331578492.post-32874754939217789342010-10-08T11:09:56.688-04:002010-10-08T11:09:56.688-04:00addendum: maybe instead of using the word "an...addendum: maybe instead of using the word "annoying" i should have said "insulting"!in my post! <br />thanks.<br /><br />~ibAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-217917876331578492.post-3688432709401047862010-10-08T11:07:34.047-04:002010-10-08T11:07:34.047-04:00i heard she is 16" tall.
