Within a purple cotton fabric frame that has teeny-tiny little polka dots of white, we see a blue-framed photo of an 11 inch Strawberry Shortcake doll with articulated arms that bend at the shoulder and the elbow. She has long, red, flowing hair and big green eyes. Her long legs have painted-on green and white stockings and painted-on red shoes. She wears a dress that has short sleeves (like a T-shirt) and the bodice part of the dress is made of green felt while the skirt part is make of pink cotton dotted with little strawberries.
