Madame Alexander Dolls

1957 Alexander-kin #401 in a tagged red dress with white lace trim. “Wendy Off to Play With a Friend”. Lovely, neat brunette flip hairdo. White straw hat with red flowers. Crinoline and panties appear original. Walking mechanism works well. Lace trim on dress has yellowed. I believe shoes and socks are replaced. Comes with custom stand. Contact me if you have questions or need more photos.

This perfect oval-eyed straight-leg walker from 1954 is beautiful in a Little Southern Girl outfit. She comes straight from her original owner. I added the outfit, from another doll. The slip is relatively new. The dress is untagged, and the woman I bought it (and the hat) from had no info about it– she had inherited the doll. I used to think that this outfit had been recently reproduced by the Alexander Company, but now I’m not sure about that– I can’t find any recent ones. This dress looks exactly like the ones from 1953, and if the dress has NOT been reproduced by the Alexander Company, then the only conclusion I can draw is that this one is an original, from 1953. A collector has pointed this out to me, and another has noted that the hat even has a small white feather as part of the decoration– and that is consistent with the photo of the outfit in Patricia Smith’s World of Alexander-kins. It’s the first outfit pictured, on page 13. Additionally: This is a gorgeous doll. Ip paint is perfect– not inside or outside the lips as is often the case, or chipped within the lines. Her cheek color is deep and rich, her eyebrows and lower lashes are perfectly painted and unfaded. Her hair is gorgeous. This doll does not appear to have been played with. I won’t be lowering the price on her–she is well worth what I’m asking. And the more I learn about the dress and hat, the more the value increases.
