The Vogue Doll Company issued a new teenage doll in 1957. Her name was Jill and she was promoted as Ginny's big sister. She was an all hard plastic high-heeled doll with a glued on saran wig that could be the color blonde, brunette or red. Her hair style was either a pony tail or a slight flip (called the angel cut). She was a sleep eye doll and had small metal hoops under her ears for earrings. She was a walking doll (her head turns when she walks) with bendable knees. Vogue designed many very high quality, beautiful outfits for this very collectible doll. Jill was manufactured until the mid 1960's. The last version was an all vinyl doll. My 1957 Jill doll (I still have her today) was the last doll that I received as a gift. I was now a seventh grader and "too old" for dolls!! I guess I learned that one is never "too old" for doll collecting!!
