This is a wonderful rare Madame Alexander Cissy Doll named Creole Beauty. She is from the Portrait Series of 1960. Creole Beauty is a turn of the century model wearing a gown of heavy moire, ornamented with fine black silk braid and accentuated with a black maribou neckline on her overjacket.
A full half slip lends support for the large sweeping skirt section of the gown. The gown is tagged Cissy. Stockings, panties, and black strappy shoes finish off her unders. Cissy carries a black velvet and sequin reticule and wears her "diamond" ring. She wears replacement earrings and hat. The gown has some slight discoloration streaks that is not easily seen in the photos. The discoloration has been seen on other examples of this outfit leading me to believe it is a product of the aging process of the fabric. However, there are also a couple of tiny areas that are actual stain spots. They are circled in one of the photos. Her cheeks have been professionally reblushed and sealed, and her face skin tone is slightly darker than the body. No seam splits or cracks. Her brunette wig is very clean and well coiffed.This is a great opportunity to add a rare Cissy doll to your collection. Large photos are shown of this doll so p. Lease check them all out.
