Rag doll Iris is a beautiful soft doll, suitable from birth. She got her name from the lovely lilac coloured dress she wears. Her perfectly co-ordinated dress and matching shoes are a mix of floral, spots and stripey fabrics. The lace waistband and little puff sleeves give a fine finish to the look. Her hair is tied in bunches and she has added some flowers to her hair just because that makes her feel as pretty as we think she is. She is ready to go out and see the world outside.
Iris is the ideal first companion doll, who can be taken everywhere and join in the fun wherever she goes. Made entirely from fabric, she is soft safe and suitable for babies and children on any age. Her face detail is endearing and we just love her little fabric button style nose.
