This beautiful Madame Alexander Cissy doll from the late 1950s was bought from the family of the original owner. She is original to this tagged purple torso gown. She wears her original rhinestone earrings, which had been glued to her ears, and I never did anything to change it. She has no issues to her hard plastic body except for a split at the top of her left leg, which was never repaired. Her brunette updo wig is fabulous and in the original set, with very minimal hairs out of place. She has very blue eyes, and I really don’t see any color change in them. They open and close well, and she has all of her brush lashes. There are a few specks on her eyelids. She has some issues to her right check and the right side of her face, which are pictured. Not really noticeable on display, but the camera sees everything. These could probably be touched up without much trouble. Her stringing is good, and there are no issues with her vinyl arms. Her joints are at the head, shoulders, elbows, hips and knees, and she is 20 inches tall. Her tagged torso gown is purple velvet with pink satin accents and a voluminous flounce of soft lavender tulle over a deeper lavender organdy underskirt. I found a couple of tiny spots on the organdy underskirt. They would probably rinse out, but they would never be seen. The tulle has no rips or tears, but a few pinholes and one area in the back where there are several small holes in a grouping. I have a picture of this if you would like to see, but I ran out of picture room. Under the gown is a torso slip with pink satin top and lace-trimmed pink satin panties attached and a flounce of lavender tulle. Didn’t see any issues with this. I had the elastic replaced years back with pink rayon-rubber elastic like the original, so it fits snugly. She wears original Cissy hose with no damage. Tops are very slightly loose, but stay up fine. The shoes are white pearl bases with pretty pink insoles and silver elastic. They were bought quite a while ago to use with this gown since the doll had lost her original shoes. Also missing was the snowflake pin that goes on the gown’s bodice. The vintage flowers are very tired, and one of the flowers became detached and lost. I have pictured a spray of 1950s fuschia nylon? Roses that was intended to replace the original flowers, and they will come with the doll. They have a Made in Germany tag on them. Cissy in her torso gown makes for a beautiful display. Can’t believe I never displayed it on her. It was just stored once the slip elastic was repaired. She’s from a smoke-free home, and questions are welcome, along with requests for additional pictures.

If I hadnt gotten laid off, this doll would not be up for sale… But life goes on. This is a gorgeous redhead Cissy , dressed in the HTF 1956 Black Torso Mermaid evening gown is in very nice condition but NOT mint in my opinion. Her hair is in all original form, blue eyes are turning a little green, full eye lashes, eyes close freely, no smells, smoke or odors She had good color on her paint, cheeks are bare, lips and body color is good.. No splits on the legs or crotch. Dress still has all the original rosettes on the outside and under layer of the dress. Original panties and fitted slip to the knee with flounce tulle to the feet. HTF ORIGINAL shoes, however, elastic is completely stretched out and there are some moth holes in the pink of the shoes. You should be able to see this clearly. Dress is in great shape, but upon examination, I did notice a few areas on the underside that should be refreshed and cleaned. There are some rub marks around her neck, I ran out of space for pics but can send if you want to see them. Clearly, in her 63 years of life, she has been admired from afar and not in played with condition. Have no doubt, whatever you want to do to her will be very minimal, she is in showcase ready condition as is. Please contact me if you have any questions. Thanks for looking at my doll, Sharon.
