Sounds like you have a very collectable doll. Maybe she is worth big $$$$.

Love your doll. I have one that looks very much like her. Picked her up at a yard sale about 20 years ago. she had a huge circular skirt and a large picture hat all in yellow. She was a bed doll. don't know if you remember them. They were set in the middle of the bed with the shirt flared around them. I will have to get mine out and make a new outfit for her. Will have to research "bed doll" and see what I come up with.

She is beautiful. I have almost all of my dolls from my childhood but don't have one that height. I have been wanting to make some doll clothes and this sparks that idea even more. May have to go and buy a pattern today.:-)

Oh my! I had that bride doll too! Unfortunately my dolls were packed in the garage and got wet so I no longer have her! Thanks for the memory though...

Very good job. Those doll clothes are hard to make. I appreciate a good job like you did. Experience says they are harder to make than adult clothing. You are talented in deed.

I had one too, but it was a 1954 model, with a white satin bride's dress and a wig on a buckram base. She is still around at my daughter's. She had the same face. I did buy her a new wig some years ago from a dollmaker, long since gone to her reward. I have a picture taken with her when I was in the third grade.
