I wish I could find out her maker but there is no name except "Horseman" on the box!
Maybe I need to update her look like that she's in the 50 Something range. Whatcha think?

I also have a "bride doll". It was the last doll I ever got, I asked for her for Christmas when I was 11, so that makes her 49 years old! My mother and I both made clothes for her and I rarely played with her so she looks brand new, and she is still in the original box (which is in pretty rough shape but still hanging in there). I still have the original clothes too but they are in really rocky shape. The accessories have fared better.

What a beauty you have there for a doll!! 
I am sure that I had a bride doll just like her & wish I still owned her. The outfit you have made for her, is just darling. I am sure she is one proud doll to be weraing your cute outfit!!

I thought the same thing- I had a doll like her! She's beautiful. Thanks for giving her a great home. And nice outfit- she needs a dark bra to make her look like fashion models hehe. j/k

I'm sure you'll have fun making a quilt for her ... and many wardrobe items to follow!
Though to me .... her lacy blouse, floral pants and the way she's holding her arms, says to me that she's missing a summer wrap/shawl draping over those arms!
perhaps a fine hand knit?
