Madame Alexander Dolls

Here today is a gorgeous 20 inch hard plastic and vinyl Cissy doll wearing her original lavender sheath outfit made by Madame Alexander in 1957. Cissy is a painted beauty with her gorgeous crystal clear open and close vivid blue eyes, full set of hair lashes, painted lower lashes, stroked eyebrows, lightly blushed cheeks and coral painted lips. The whites of Cissy’s stunning eyes are very white and the blue is very blue with just a very tiny speck of green. She is in her original shiny blonde wig in its original set. Although it doesn’t appear her hair has ever been combed she does have a few fly aways. Cissy still retains some of the blush on her knees and backs of her hands. I don’t see any unwanted marks on her but her arms and fingers could use a light washing. Cissy’s fingers and toes are perfect and intact. It doesn’t appear she has any loose joints although her head has a slight wobble at times but that may be a characteristic of vintage Cissy’s. It doesn’t really feel loose or prohibit her from holding posses. As shown in the last picture she does have a small upper leg split that is pretty much up into the hip socket. I don’t see any other splits or cracks. Her knees and arms bend as they should. Cissy is wearing her original tagged 1957 beautiful silky satin lavender sheath dress with matching outer detachable full skirt. I don’t see any issues at all with her sheath dress that closes in the back with 5 original intact square snaps. It still has the original rose flowers at the V neckline with stand up collar and 3/4 length sleeves, lined in off white fabric. The detachable wrap skirt closes at the front with a single original square snap embellished with an attached matching bow, lined in off white fabric. The wrap skirt has a slight bit of a lighter color change near the front opening but does not show to much. To complete Cissy’s outfit she is wearing the beautiful correct open crown pale pink hat with 3 layers of netting, scattered flowers and a pink satin bow in at the back, her original silver stretch strap high heels, nylons and her faux diamond ring. As seen in a couple of pictures she is wearing an original flowered rhinestone earring. There are actually 2 of them included but both need to have new stems added before they can be worn. Cissy is wearing very nice vintage tagged undergarments, blue slip with lace hem, matching blue lace panties and a matching lace strapless bra that closes in the back with a hook and eye. They appear to have been made for the Cissy or other fashions dolls of that era. With the exception of the above mentioned issues beautiful Cissy and her gorgeous outfit are in excellent vintage condition. Although I don’t see any stains the outfit could probably stand to be dry cleaned and pressed. Thanks for taking a look and God Bless.

With her Fashion Academy Award, this lovely black “Cynthia” walker doll from Madame Alexander has been in in our family for many years as a member of a special aunt’s collection of beautiful dolls. She has never been played with and has been used only for display in a closed china cabinet. Her plastic body is jointed at the neck, shoulders, and hips. Her arms are loose, and there is one very fine line, at the right side of her mouth, which I can see with a magnifying glass. Her paint/finish on her right pinky finger is chipped. Cynthia’s face is from a Madame Alexander “Margaret” mold,, and she has a beautiful facial complexion and perfect facial coloring. Her clear brown sleep eyes work properly, and her brush lashes are intact. Her pretty black hair is in the original “set, ” upswept at the front sides, curled-under bangs, and a pulled together at the back neck in a rolled curl accented with a yellow satin ribbon bow. The upswept portion is held in place by some sort of dark wire hair barrette. The back of her “do” is slightly flattened from her positioning in the china cabinet. Doll stand is not included. Technically a 15-Inch doll, this Cynthia stands 14 1/2 Inches tall, and her head turns from side to side as her legs move in a walking motion. The clothing on this doll has never been removed. She is wearing a knee-length dress of yellow cotton organdy. The dress has a scooped neckline, short puffed sleeves, a gathered waist, and a full skirt with a double gathered flounce at the bottom. The bodice is a double layer of the fabric, and the single-layer skirt is over an attached underskirt of white taffeta. The neckline, sleeves and skirt are accented with a pretty narrow white lace, and the same lace accents the underskirt. The dress closes at the back bodice with four small snaps, and a wide yellow satin ribbon sash ties in a bow at the waistline. Cynthia’s white taffeta panties close in the back with one small snap and are accented at the straight legs with a white lace. On the dress tag… A tag on the underskirt reads… Ellis Stone Greensboro, N. D97 LSL F4 94 1531 9.95. Ellis Stone was a department store in Greensboro, North Carolina, where my husband’s grandmother and two aunts shopped for dolls for their collections. The one surviving aunt is now residing in a special memory care unit. White knitted ankle socks and black “leather” Mary Janes and a yellow bow in her hair complete Cynthia’s Fashion Academy Award ensemble. Around her neck, hanging from a gold twine, is a metal/brass Fashion Academy Award medal. MADAME ALEXANDER NEW YORK KINNEY PROV. Note Of Interest: The Kinney Company of Providence, Rhode Island, also made wing badges for American and Allied forces during World War II. A fine addition to any collection! From a smoke-free and pet-free home. NOTE: Are we off base in assuming that the Fashion Academy medal is original to this doll? You all, I’m sure, know much more than we do on the subject.
