~TLC for Sears' Exclusive Mink Stole for Vintage Barbie~~

When I purchased the Sears Mink recently, the fur side was in great condition but the back side was in serious need of some TLC. And that's exactly what I gave it. I didn't use a pattern for the lining. Instead I hand folded and stitched by hand where it was needed following the curves of the stole. 
The stole was sold exclusively by Sears in 1964-1965 for $9.99, and it was reduced to $7.99 at some point. It was the most expensive doll item of its time. Only a few were produced or sold, making it a rare and very expensive item today.
