shipping Yankee Doodle Dandy, Pageant Style, Madame Alexander, 10" Vintage Doll, Patriotic, Satin Stole, Box, Wrist Tag, Paperwork was produced in 2001 for 2002 release. Doll had not been removed from box. I did so to check the back of the gown and examine high heel shoes. After photos, doll was returned to box in exact configuration as when received. Good condition original box with clear label and very nice overall finish and shape. A lovely box that belies age. Restringing was not needed due to proper care/storage. (NOTE: Doll descriptive details in 2nd paragraph). Hair retains original set and hairnet, hairpins. Sealed accessory bag stapled to box liner has her matching stole. Garments and undergarments, trims, shoes and shoe soles, are like new. She is very hard to find complete and in this lovely condition, having never been removed from her box until my inspection. Please study photos to confirm description. NOTE: As with all shop dolls in heels, doll stand is included. NOTE: SHIPPING OVERAGE may apply, depending on destination. ONLY actual label cost is charged.


A beautiful pageant-style doll, this American sweetheart is decidedly formal. The elegant cut of her gown is surely a stately classic, with clean lines and understated elegance. Her coifed updo is fit for a queen and especially appealing in the platinum blonde hair color choice. Her demure velvet bodice of midnight blue has silver metallic spaghetti straps, and is slightly ruched. Sprinkled with clear rhinestones, her ensemble twinkles pleasantly in warm light. With dramatic flair, a huge, tailored bow dominates the design and wraps around her gown, marking the transition between bodice and skirt. With its matching matte finish, the soft satin skirt is precisely tailored and fully lined. Underneath, three layers of gathered netting in red, white and blue, add proper support and drape, as well as carrying out the patriotic theme. Each layer is edged in picot trim. Her custom satin heels have a contrasting red edge along the opening and a clear heel. Restrained in embellishments, this doll's gown has a pure design and a presence seldom accomplished in a 10" doll.


MY MISSION: I provide a doll for you that is fully ready for display on arrival at your home, beautiful and sturdy. Any flaws I detect which I could not remedy will be documented in the listing and doll priced accordingly. I keep extensive computer files on each listing with doll and box images.)The boxes, being the original homes for the dolls, are in variable condition, dependent on the original owner's care and storage. I will always mention box condition with the listing, or sleep eyes that open manually.

MY PROCESS: I remove from the box to re-style the hair and inspect/correct for anything that might be remiss. I feel this step is more important than listing "never removed from box." My patrons will know there will be no loose snaps, no tangled locks, damaged apron strings, no fragile, weakened rubber bands, ( I re-string when needed) no stained or faded clothing or problems with undergarments, no necklaces trapped in the neck or tresses. I restring with elastic cord, the preferred archival choice of "doll doctors."

MY PRICES: I calculate on: How readily available (or, conversely, hard to find,) whether complete with all accessories, my costs, my labor, condition of restored doll returned to box after completing the work.
