1950s Madame Alexander Cissy Doll, Hair in Original Set with Barrette, Estate Find
Posted by in 1950s
This is a vintage Cissy, Madame Alexander’s gorgeous fashion doll of the 1950s. She comes from the estate of her original owner, who obviously treated her very kindly. This doll is a beauty and very nice, with minor flaws. My favorite thing about this doll is her hair. It is in the original factory set, with a large barrette across the top of her head, and the sides pulled back smoothly. In back, her curls are neatly contained in a hair net near her neck. There are a few strays poking out of the hairdo, but still amazing hair! She has hazel-blue eyes with all their lashes. Her eyes are clear. They sometimes need help closing. Her face paint is original and very nice. She has strong blush on the cheeks and coral lips. There is a bit of blush on her earlobes. I see a few faint and tiny marks here and there but I did not try to wash her face. Her body is structurally sound, no cracked or broken parts, no chews or anything like that. She has blush on her knees. Her arms are paler than the rest of her. She has a blueish mark on the back of her right forearm; see shot of her nude with arms raised to show this. Again, I did not try to clean. They look good though. Her arms stay raised, but her head nods down slightly so I think the stringing holding her head should be tightened. Cissy is wearing what I think are her original earrings, pearl drops with pretty metal detail. She has on her original nylon stockings which amazingly are in nice condition with no runs! Her black high heel sandals are intact but the elastic on them is all stretched out; could be repaired by someone who knows how not me! Her vintage outfit is vintage and likely made from a pattern specifically for these stately fashion girls. It’s a chic summer suit, with a dark brown pencil skirt, cream colored blouse with round collar, and matching brown cape — perfect for a warm day in the city. The blouse is yellowed with age — I did not try to clean. She also has a stylish hat, light straw color trimmed with a dark brown and cream ribbon and a brown button. There is an old blue toy watch on her wrist; the string is very stretched out. Thank you for looking.
