Maureen, The Last Bride Doll by Paradise Galleries

This is a 'Maureen, The Last Bride' collectible doll, part of the 'Something Old, Something New' collection from Paradise Galleries. The doll is presented in what appears to be its original packaging, a large cardboard box with a pink polka-dot pattern on the inner sides. The doll itself is visible through a clear plastic bag or covering, indicating it is likely new or has been carefully preserved. Maureen has reddish-brown hair, styled with a veil adorned with what looks like small floral or leafy accents. Her face features notable rosy cheeks and delicately painted features. She is dressed in an elaborate white bridal gown with lace detailing on the sleeves and bodice, and what appears to be a full skirt. A green ribbon is tied around her waist or bodice, adding a subtle touch of color. In her arms, the doll holds a bouquet of white flowers, also wrapped in clear plastic. The doll is still secured within multiple layers of white tissue paper and cardboard inserts designed to protect it during transit and storage. The overall presentation suggests a high-quality collectible doll, with careful attention to costume design and overall aesthetic. There are no visible signs of wear, damage, or repairs on the doll or its direct packaging. The primary box shows some signs of handling but is largely intact. The doll's style and presentation are characteristic of late 20th to early 21st-century collectible dolls, often marketed as porcelain or bisque dolls, though the material of this specific doll's head and limbs cannot be definitively determined from the image alone. The included booklet or certificate features an image of the doll and reiterates its name and collection details, ensuring authenticity and providing further context for collectors.
