So we were passed on some hand me downs for our daughter and in one of the boxes was this dress (pictures below).
Now, it's not my taste and I'm not a big Raggedy Ann/Andy fan. I was curious if anyone here was, and what you'd sell/pay for it. It's fairly old, and has no tags, that I've found anyway. x3

First, let me say that is absolutely adorable. I have some questions...

Does it appear to be hand made? You can usually tell by looking at the inside seams. If it's handmade (and appears to be lightly worn), I'd say $25-30. If it's factory made, I'd say $15-$20.

That dress is making me wish I had a little girl. So cute!!! whee heart

It does look hand made. and the only wear and tear I see is the thinning of the fabric from age.
And I totally agree it's super adorable. But hubby is not so much a fan. He went "O-o ew....... It's a little out of style. Don't you think?" xd

It would make an aodrable christmas dress. ^^ It's certainly hand made, I can tell from the pictures. You might be able to seel it, or you could continue the chain of hand-me downs and pass it on to someone else you know. ^^

It is very adorable. Sadly it won't fit Nikki come Christmas time. I've been looking around to see if anyone I know is a Raggedy Ann/Andy collector.

It sucks that my little sister is a bit of a tom boy. It's a beautiful dress and I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Wow! If that is geneine authentic. (that is, some store made it when ragedy anne was hot) then I'd say it worth more than you think.
However, If it's handcrafted, then I'd put a price tag on of about $30 ish.
