I hope everyone had the Happiest of Holidays and we all look forward to a Happy New Year! I have just discovered this lovely vintage Madame Alexander Cissy doll dressed in a red taffeta gown. She measures approximately 19 inches in height. The gown almost looks as though it has been stored too long and really needs to be refreshed. I believe that this is dress #2036, which would date from about 1956. It has a dropped waist, flared skirt and a side drape. It is embellished with rhinestones at the shoulders and on the side drape. I think that on the top of the back (where the cap sleeve attaches to the bodice) is the little tiny remnant of what was the tag on this dress. It appears that someone cut it off. There is also white thread on the outside where the working snap closures are. I would assume that there was something that covered this at some point, as I feel that as well as these dresses were made, that it would not have been finished this way. The entire dress is lined with a very sheer fabric in a matching shade of red, and this lining is in fine shape. Please look carefully at my photos, as they are an important part of my description. She has a pair of panties that has stretched out elastic at the waist. There is a half slip made of a fairly stiff muslin type fabric that is trimmed in lace at the hemline with an elastic waistline (also not too stretchy anymore). She is wearing sheer stockings that are in pretty good shape. They have a seam at the back and one of them has a “darned” area on the front (see photo). She is wearing a pair of black strappy high heeled sandals that I believe are newer. They fit her well. Overall, Cissy is in good shape, but could probably stand a good bubble bath. Her fingernails have remnants of a red nail polish and her toes have what appears to be a very sheer pink polish on them. It really doesn’t show at all in the photos. She has no splits in the usual areas, such as the legs, torso or neckline. Her eyelashes appear to be intact and she has light blue-green eyes. She has very delicate eyebrows, slight. “Eyeshadow” above her eyes, a darling upturned nose and sweet coral lips. Her wig is in fairly good shape, but really could stand to be re-styled. She is marked ALEXANDER on the back of her head at the neckline. There is glue residue all around this which shows in the pictures. Her stringing seems to be fine. She has a few little scuffs where her thighs attach into the sockets, and some fine scuffs above her navel. She has a very slight rosy blush on her knees. I have attempted to show her from every angle, but welcome any request for clarification. The item “VTG.
