1940 Madame Alexander Bride Composition Doll 14".

Collectibles : Dolls, Figures : Madame Alexander : Bride

 

This beautiful bride is an all original composition doll from Madame Alexander and was made in 1940. She is from the original owner's family. She stands approximately 14" tall and is marked on the back of her lower head with "MME ALEXANDER". Her dress is tagged with the Madame Alexander blue and white fabric tag that reads "Madame Alexander/New York/USA".

Her dress is a lovely empire style long sleeved satin floor length gown. It is trimmed in black at the sleeves and hem. It has a cathedral length to the back of the dress. The dress is wrinkled but all stitching is intact and I find no tears or holes. There are two small flower bouquets at the front hem. They are in poor shape and should be replaced.

She is wearing a long cathedral length veil that is gathered at the top of her head and cascades down to a flowing train of ecru mesh. It is trimmed in lace all around the edges. It is held to her head with flowers at the gathered top. (These flowers show age also and should be replaced). The lace edging at the top of her head is loose. The veil also shows color aging and minor pulls in the mesh. I find two or three small pin holes in the veil.

She also wears a slip trimmed in lace. No other undergarments or shoes.

Her pretty blond hair has curls and is long. It is a little messy from storage and age. Her face is beautiful with hand painted eyebrows, blushing cheeks and pretty pink lips. Her open and close blue eyes work well. She does have some aging issues on her face. No crazing - but some smudges around her forehead, left eyebrow and mouth and right cheek area. Two of the areas have scratched the surface of her face.

Her upper thigh area on her left leg shows some crazing/cracks.

I have probably made her "issues" seem worse than they are. I had to mention them though. All in all, she is a beautiful bridal doll that just needs some care. She was made by an excellent doll company and is a quality item.

Price has been adjusted for aging issues.
