Madame Alexander Dolls

Here is an early painted Madame Alexander Cissy doll dressed in a very striking display outfit. Cissy is 20 inches tall and has joints at the head, shoulders, elbows, hips and knees. She is all hard plastic except for her vinyl arms. She is in good vintage condition with joints working well. She has small splits at the top of each leg where it goes into the torso. I have pictured one of the splits, but ran out of photo room to post a picture of the other. It is approximately the same size, but a picture can be furnished upon request. Cissy has blue-green sleep eyes and all of her brush and painted lashes. Eyes open and close well. Her original cheek color has faded. Her head will bob a little when moved around, but seems stable enough to me. She probably has her original headband. Her dark blonde wig is still in the factory set/style, but has a little weakness in the center seam. Back when I first got her, I started to gently comb through the wig and immediately pulled out a strand of hair. I pinned it back with a hairpin and never attempted anything else with it. The curls are nice, though. Cissy’s dress is custom made and with very nice detail. The fabric is a 1950s fabric that is identical to the fabric that was used in the dresses for the Maggie dolls. Those were pink and blue, and this is a silvery-gray. The pattern is raised when brand new and unwashed. I have shown a picture of this fabric and the pink fabric for verification. The dress is constructed with a lace-trimmed sweetheart neckline and banded puff sleeves. Three pearls decorate the fitted bodice. A red grosgrain ribbon is looped through two small mother-of-pearl buckles and ties in a bow in the back. The gathered skirt is full and flirty. Such an awesome little dress. Underneath is a vintage white taffeta slip with net ruffles trimmed in red rickrack on the outside and inside. Good elastic in the waist. She wears white taffeta Cissy panties and seamed stockings, which, I believe, are original. The panties may have some light spots on them. I will check in the morning when there is better light to make sure. Her shoes are red Cissy bases that have new elastic to go with the rest of her outfit. Her hat is an original Cissy hat that has had the damaged white horsehair braid removed. The brim is wired and can be shaped. The lily-of-the-valley flowers are in great shape, and I added a little vintage sprig to cover the stems. It is just stuck in there and can be easily removed if desired. There is a gold headband with good stretch that is inside the crown of the hat. Accessories include a vintage red and white plastic tote, pearl necklace with box clasp, vintage watch with red band and a newer pearl ring. The doll is a pretty display doll as she is. The addition of some cheek color would really enhance her. Cissy comes from a smoke-free home and is being offered to USA BUYERS LOWER 48 ONLY.

This listing is for a vintage. 1950s Madame Alexander LITTLE WOMEN AMY doll loop curls original fabric tag on back of dress at the neck. The doll is approx 14 tall. I think it may say “alex” on the back of her head? The Amy doll is in very good vintage condition with the light wear and patina you would expect in an item of this vintage. There is a slight bit of discoloration on her petticoat – see photo # 4 at the bottom of the petticoat to the right of center. I’ve also read that some of these dolls can be rather loosely strung – I don’t know if that is the case with this doll or not – her head stays upright when you hold her still but if you move her around (I don’t have a doll stand) it has a tendency to drop forward a little bit. I don’t have a lot of experience with dolls so please let me know if you have any questions. Please see all 12 photos several of which are taken on a 1 ruler grid for relative size purposes. Please look at the pictures I have included to judge the condition for yourself and let me know if you have any questions. Please note also , that the flash and close-up function of my camera shows all of the dust, etc. Which is not visible to the naked eye. It also magnifies any small scratches/scuff marks to many, many, many times their actual size. Also, any boxes / coins used for photography purposes are not included, unless other wise stated. PLEASE look at ALL 12 PICTURES , BUT do not just use the pictures as a reference when judging the size and condition of an item – close-up photography makes things appear larger than they are – PLEASE also read the description which will also include the relevant measurements when judging the size and condition of an item and/or look at the photo taken on the 1 square ruler grid. I sell a large variety of things that I think are interesting and will appeal to buyers. I cannot be an expert on all of these items, but do a lot of research (including other e-bay listings) and will do my best to describe them including what I have found through my research. Also, almost every item I sell is vintage and therefore will probably include the usual wear that you would expect to see in a vintage item. I do my best to point out anything that is noticeable, but please do not expect to receive a “new” item. After 3 days the item may be re-listed following e-bay procedures.
