Madame Alexander Dolls

Prized by collectors because of her rare outfit, this Cissy is one of the most pristeen high-end dolls I have ever come across. This doll is original to her outfit she came from the Madame Alexander factory wearing this ensemble. The original owner never undressed her and she was stored in a cabinet for years and years. Her hair and her face have not been touched no air-brushing, no re-blushing, no re-painting. This is very rare to find in the current world of vintage Cissy dolls. Her body is perfect, as you would expect, since she was never played with. Cissys golden blonde hair is styled in the formal way with the sides pulled up into a cluster of curls on the crown and cascading down into another cluster of curls at the nape. Her eyes are a sparkly blue-green color. She is a gorgeous doll one of Madame Alexanders most elegant! Cissy is wearing her tagged, original RARE evening gown that is known to collectors as the Camellia gown. This lovely gown is constructed of silk printed with camellias and roses. There is a small bow at the waist for accent and the skirt falls into graceful folds from the box pleats at the waist. The bodice has capped sleeves, a sweetheart neckline and there are tiny tucks at the bust and the shoulders. This ensemble has a matching velveteen stole lined in same fabric as the gown. There are two variations of the Camellia evening gown the variation on this Cissy is the rare version in fact, you hardly ever see it come up for sale. Cissys silk gown and the stole lining are not faded and the print is as bright, lovely and minty. The velveteen on the stole had faded, so the stole was de-constructed to save the lining and then re-constructed with vintage velveteen that exactly matched the non-faded part of her old stole. She still retained her original ivory taffeta panties and hooped taffeta petticoat. They are both in great condition just like her gown, but the petticoat elastic has relaxed, so I ran a thread through it. Cissys veil had pretty much disintegrated into nothing. Her high heel elastic was shot, so they were re-made with new insoles and new silver elastic to replicate the originals. The dolls original tear drop clear rhinestone earrings were still sparkly, but her necklace had blackened over the years and had no sparkle or shine left, so it was replaced with a new one. Her ring is original to her and is one of the non-adjustable rings so sought after by Cissy collectors. It is big and gorgeous. You dont see these rings very often. Cissy is wearing a new bracelet made of rose Swarovski rhinestones but best of all, she is also able to flirt because she carries a lovely little fan with a cherry blossom motif just the right accessory for this gown. This Cissy is just….. Special in so many ways. She is elegant by herself, but since she is dressed in a rare and beautiful outfit, she will be a very high-end, lovely addition to any collection.
