This gorgeous creature is Cissy, made by Madame Alexander in 1956. She comes from an estate collection that featured many Cissy dolls and their vast wardrobe. I do not believe this doll has ever even been undressed. In fact, I did not undress her because her factory wrist tag is still attached to her left wrist, and I was not able to pull the sleeve of her bolero off her arm for fear of hurting the paper tag. So, I just pulled her clothing up, down and to the side to show you as much of her body as I can. However, I have a lot more photos; if you wish to see a close up of a particular part of this doll, please let me know and I’ll show you. Cissy is wearing her aqua taffeta dress with cap sleeves and a drop waist, with a fitted bodice. It closes with four square original snaps in back. The dress has the Cissy tag sewn into the back neckline. She wears a black velvet bolero with pink rose corsage in front. Underneath she wears her original pink tulle and taffeta half slip. She has on nylon stockings with seams up the back, and her strappy black velvet high heel sandals / shoes. Cissy has her original black velvet headband type hat with attached flowers and black netting decorated with tiny pink flowers. The hat has a gold chin strap. She wears an aquamarine rhinestone ring on her right hand, and her original pearl earrings. There is a pearl elastic bracelet on her left hand but there are spaces without pears and it seems to me to not be original. The wrist tag is the charming “To all little girls” letter design from Madame Alexander. Cissy has aqua blue eyes that open and close as they should, and all her eyelashes. Her eyes match her dress pretty well! Her makeup is pretty and still quite vibrant. Her arms and head hold a pose. I don’t see any splits to the plastic or cracks. There is a little white scuff to her right way upper thigh. No chews or anything of that nature. Between the ring finger and little finger of her right hand is a little…. See close up photo; it looks like a factory thing, to the vinyl. Very small and I didn’t notice until I blew up the photos. The outfit is lovely but not perfect. I see some yellowing and spots on the dress; might soak out with Oxyclean or similar but I didn’t even think to try. No holes in the stockings, a modern miracle! Shoes fit nice and snug. The hat is darling but the net has several tears. The hat seems to be pinned down to her head so I did not try to remove it. Cissy is from a nonsmoking home.
