Madame Alexander Cissy Appraisal

Vintage Madame Alexander Cissy Bride Doll

This is a vintage Madame Alexander 'Cissy' doll, a highly collectible fashion doll dating approximately to the mid-1950s (circa 1955-1959). The doll features a hard plastic articulated body and a vinyl head with a brunette wig, sleep eyes, and hand-painted facial features including red lips and delicate lashes. She is dressed in an elaborate ivory bridal ensemble consisting of a floor-length satin and tulle gown with tiered lace detailing and pink floral accents. Accessories include a full tulle veil attached to a floral headpiece and a pearl-style necklace. The doll is positioned in front of its original green Madame Alexander branded box, which shows characteristic diagonal logo patterns. Other dolls from the same collection remain visible in their original plastic protective packaging inside the box. The bride's gown shows some slight age-related yellowing and potential dust accumulation on the tulle layers, which is common for textiles of this era. The box exhibits some structural wear, corner rubbing, and minor creasing, but remains intact with its original graphics. These dolls are noted for their high-quality craftsmanship, featuring detailed joinery and sophisticated mid-century fashion design that mirrored adult couture of the period.
