{{Dimensions}}The bear measures 16 inches tall/long from the bottoms of her feet to the top of her head. {{Condition}} Tea Party Tilly is in very good previously owned condition. Her vintage dress has some small imperfections in the fabric that are part of the character of the piece. The only other thing to mention is that the bear\'s right foot pad (the one with the artist\'s signature) has some orangey-colored tinting on the surface of the fabric that I am not sure is intentional. I have not tried to clean it. Please look at my detail photos to see.{{Shipping}}I live in Canada, and will be shipping via Canada Post. I apologize for their high rates!
