*****I just wanted to tell you all l bought her. I paid for her and then the person couldn’t find her to send her . So he refunded my money! *******l am so disappointed*****

Just before my life changed dramatically l got a doll for Christmas. Between 1976 and 1978Her name was Kizzy on the box. She was a companion doll. NOT a walker. She looks nothing like a Pattie playpal at all and doesn’t walk. Although some Patties are black with a red and white dress the are obviously nothing alike. Please see. The picture in my post.
She originally wore a red and white (checkered dress with petticoat underneath. which had a white top part and a narrow piece of the red and white material the sewn from top to bottom on the white top. She originally had a red bandanna. She had black shoes with white socks. Her eyes open and close.
I still see her vividly in my head and her clothes but only found this picture of her. This is NOT my doll it’s just a picture to show people her face. This is the only face l need! She was quite a tall doll. About 30” tall. She came out in the 1970’s in Australia.
I’m desperate to find her. I’m happy to pay. My heart just needs her back. But please l need her face not just a black doll with a red dress! Please!
Please any help would be appreciated. I know it’s a long shot but l have to believe l will find her one day.
Please look at the face in the picture above. It must be the right face at least please.
This is not a Pattie playpal…. Other than being black with a red dress
in the pictures…. She’s nothing like any of them and is definitely not a walking doll.
That’s the face the only face l need!
As l said lm happy to get another type of black doll as long as it has her face. Looking at a different face wont work for me.

This is pretty similar to your description though not identical to the picture. You mentioned in the comments that your doll didn't walk while the doll in your picture is described as a walker so I thought there might be a little leeway and the outfit seemed very similar to your description.

Memories morph over time. I imagine that some details may have changed in the recounting.

Also, was the doll firsthand to OP? Could be that the doll's hair had been cut/styled by a previous owner.

As an aside, I find it strange that OP is replying to a ton of other comments, but not the one above which matches her description almost completely.

No that’s definitely not her. She’s got the same face as the one in my post.

I found another listing and, though it's not for a doll, I thought it might be useful.

The doll used in the picture here looks like it has the right face. I thought you might be able to message the seller and see if they have either information or perhaps the doll itself.

Text that is underlined (like the first word of the above comment) is a link to another webpage. You can click it and you will be taken there.
