What the heck is she?

While I was going through my Mcdonald's Barbies a few weeks back I found this tiny little doll with them. And I forgot to post pictures. I have no idea when I got her, or what she is. She has no markings at all, and tbh she looks a little bit freaky sometimes, yet I find her interesting. She looks like she has lost hair, but I see no empty plugs, so they are just spaced oddly I guess. And she just has this skirt. Her face is pretty grimy, and the paint is coming off in some places. She is like a tiny Barbie, her legs move, arms move, waist turns, but the head doesn't. She is about 11cm tall.

Here are two pictures of her:

Does anyone have any idea what she is? I'm guessing she's kinda old, but that's as much as I know. Any help at all would be great. :D

You know, she sort of reminds me of these tiny little fashion dolls I used to play with as a kid, in the 80s. Of course, mine were in much better condition. lol They were maybe four or five inches tall or so. I had like a dozen of them, and you could change their clothes, but their shoes were molded on their feet. I don't for the life of me remember what they were called. Something to do with models, maybe? I don't think they were made by a huge name-brand company like Mattel. I used to use my allowance to buy them at stores like Nickels and Jamesway (way back when they still existed).

That's what I was thinking, she looks a lot like the Dawn doll Gift and I found at a garage sale.

I don't think this is a Dawn doll. Dawns all had closed mouths and a different headshape than that

Doesn't seem to be a Pippa either. I'm guessing a knockoff clone, judging by the hair rooting which isn't up to Dawn or Pippa standards.

If she's by Mattel she could be a Rock Flowers. No mark a knock-off, Dawn was popular enough that would have happened. The knock off I have is hollow and feels very light compared to the real girls.

The 80s dolls being thought of could be Glamour Gals or Dazzle, I have a couple somewhere.

Thanks guys! I def. thinks she is a knock-off now that I've Googled all the names you guys gave me(This site helped a lot: http://www.whos-that-doll.com/). She looks like a mash up of a lot of them. I've never heard of Pippa or Dawn until now, they are very cool looking though. I had to have gotten her second hand at some garage sale or something. She also has two holes where her ankle is, but I couldn't find any original or clone doll that had those.

I'm thinking of maybe repainting and re-rooting her sometime down the road.

Thanks again for your help guys! :D
