Of the more rare Me & My Shadow series, Agatha is one of, if not the very most rare and hard to find doll in that series. She has a very ornate outfit. She wears a pink, tagged, taffeta gown with purple and yellow eyeloop trim, blue velvet forget-me-nots, gathers, flares etc.
It is fitted from the bodice to the hips, with gathers accentuating her hips, and very full gathered skirt. In the back there is bow-like bustle, with wings that extend beneath and a LONG decorated train. The sleeves have ruffled tulle on the underside. The tulle is a little brittle with a section partially broken off on her left arm.
Her bonnet is in lovely condition, with no breaks in the straw. It has a lovely pink moire ribbon weaving across the top with bows and tying in a bow under her chin. It has lovely blue and cream velvet forget-me-nots, and a couple perfect cabbage roses as well.
She wears a very detailed light cream, taffeta under-slip, with ruffled tulle and trimmed edges. Her taffeta pantaloons with pink bows are in fantastic shape as well. Her original light cream stockings are still fitted to her legs and her purple velvet snap shoes are lovely as well. She has a pink taffeta "parasol", and pink madame Alexander hat box. She has beautiful dark brown hair in smooth hairdo with curled under ends pinned sleekly in the back. She does have some vintage glue residue at the top of her forehead just past the edge of the wig. It can best be seen the photo of her laying down.Ive heard it can be removed, but I will let the new owner decide if they want to do something about it. She has blue eyes, bright pink lips, and two stroke brows. She has the lovely classic Cissy face so many love. Overall she is a Lovely sample of a VERY rare and hard to find doll. She comes from a smoke and pet free home, with no odors.
