Large and in charge. Beautiful doll fashioned after a beautiful actress and singer. Someone (not me) took a another doll – possibly Arranbee or American Character – and redid the makeup to look like the original from Mme A, which costs in the thousands. Here we go for the description: Body: 20-21 hard plastic, freshly strung by me. Clean with no foul odors. Fingernails are painted a deep burgundy-pink. There is a scratch on the surface of her right cheek; C- shaped from the lower eye to the mole. She has the regular rooted eye lashes, but also false ones glued on top to give her that glamorous look. Clothing: Made by a seamstress and looks SO close to the original… But I’ve never seen an original in person. Pale pink/ peach satin gown with net overlay. Bodice is a thick daisy patterned lace scattered with rhinestone brads. Two snap back closure. Slip is not attached at the waist and is 1/2 crinoline. Cream color satin panties. Leatherette center-tie shoes have a few problem spots, possibly glue or build up of polish. Soles and heels are intact. Her stockings were in bad shape, so I removed them. I have tried to capture everything in the photos, but feel free to ask me anything you have a question about. I have displayed her in a smoke-free home away from direct sunlight. Just a regular doll collector. The eyelashes fell off. My response: I pack my girls very carefully, but mishaps like that can easily be fixed. The body is hollow. The dress is cheaply made. The arms are falling off. My response: This was my fault. At the time, the stringing tension seemed fair to me but I probably should have gone ahead and restrung her, which I have taken care of.
