Madame Alexander Dolls

Madame Alexander 8 Wendy Loves School – Dresses. This is a vintage Madame Alexander doll, approximately 8 inches tall, produced between 1956 and 1957. The doll is made of hard plastic and features a Straight Leg Walker (SLW) body. 8 inches tall (about 20 cm). Hard plastic doll. Straight Leg Walker (SLW) body. Walker mechanism: working properly. Sleep eyes: working properly. Hair color: Auburn (reddish-brown). Original cotton dress with pinafore. Button-strap shoes with fuzzy bottoms (Some dirt is present on the soles). Original black straw hat. Original Madame Alexander-kins tag attached. Overall condition is good for its age, with normal signs of vintage wear. A small flaw is present on the pinafore, located on the lower black horizontal stripe near the front (slightly to the left when facing the doll). This appears to be a tiny hole or snag, possibly from a pin. The flaw is subtle and best seen in the photos. Please review all photos carefully, as they are considered part of the description. Please review all photos carefully to assess condition and details before purchasing. From a non-smoking, pet-free home. No exposure to perfumes, fabric softeners, or air fresheners.

Cissy has been a loved doll and still has plenty of life and beautifying potential. She has her Original “Candy Striped Outfit” from 1956 less the bow-tie. She also comes with the FAO Turquoise Pant and Floral Rose Printed Sweater boxed set from 1956 minus the shoes. Extras include a pair of pink heels with a flower and lace on top but not sure what outfit these came from, red heels(also not sure of outfit) and the top (lid) part of her hatbox. I have CIRCLED IN RED every flaw/real issue I see (except 1 moth hole on the “other” sweater arm on backside not shown). All the seam splits are very minor and are approx 1/2″ long (approx 3/4″ on the hip) and there is normal stretching to shoe & waist elastic from playwear, ONE RED SHOE needs the top band reattached on outer side, hair has been played with but still extremely thick and no missing patches and workable, a 1″ hand sewn “fix at the top of the slip that you WILL see because its done with black thread, otherwise else is simply cosmetic. The only other item I’d mention is the “old” smell. NOT THE “MILK” SMELL from 50s dolls. This doll and her items came out of a trunk dated 1918. It had many pre-war & post war family items. This dolls simply smells of the trunk and the combination of all those old items. We have had her for 2 weeks and the smell has dissipated about 80% leaving her in the open so I’m sure the remainder will fade or can be washed out. I DID NOT CLEAN ANYTHING so she is overall a pretty clean doll with clean items. Her dress tag is slightly faded so if her dress (or anything) has been washed in the past, it was over 50 years ago. The clothes are not discolored, The whites are cream/off white and have not turned yellow. Mannequin holding dress is NOT INCLUDED. Please ask questions and see pics.
