embroidery
thread so it doesn't get lost but it is NOT the original string/material that was used

Condition of Bear: "Zoe" is quite the sailor bear and in excellent condition considering she is 23 years old! Created in 1998, she is so pretty and features so many details.  "Zoe" is fully jointed and is wearing a distressed blue, cream sailor dress with red bow, cream colored pantaloons underneath the dress and a removable sailor hat.  She has a small hump on her back and is wearing a gold chain around her neck.
She stands approximately 13" and sitting height is approximately 9".   I do not see any stains/tears on this bear and she does not have an odor.  Her dress appears "dirty" but that is that way she was purchased.
