The thought of my babies being tossed into a blue bin one day sickens me, so I'm doing right by them now! That said, here's the scoop on this beauty from 1952 the year of my birth! Another rare-to-find, all-original doll, Rosebud has soft vinyl limbs, molded hair, cloth.
Kapok-filled body of finest muslin, & gorgeous, clear blue, working, sleep eyes. Her high-color is original & amazing! And her crier works & is loud!
Plus she wears her original tailored, blue & white check coat over a lace-trimmed organdy dress-slip, a tailored, lace-trimmed bonnet that matches her coat. Suede tie shoes, underpants & vintage (not original) thigh-high stockings.From Madame Alexander Dolls On Review by Marjorie Uhl, pg 47. This doll is from 1952. One of my Alexander books states that this doll won the Fashion Academy Award medal! I replaced her shoe ties today as one was tied with fraying yarn. Her bonnet had (not original) fraying elastic so I replaced it with white satin ribbons today.
Her darling soft leather-suede shoes show aging/rubs/cracking (see photos) but are sturdy. I don't think it's necessary. Also - I didn't not entire remove her clothing for the photos as I'm horrible at bow-tying & believe the sash has never been untied! The dress has the Mme Alex label. Sadly, the child who received her obviously wasn't allowed to play with her!
