Vintage Girl Doll with Romantic Gown and Floral Headpiece

This is a vintage doll, likely from the mid-20th century, possibly from the 1950s or 1960s, based on its facial features and construction. The doll features a composition or hard plastic head, arms, and legs, with a soft cloth body, which is common for dolls of this era. The skin tone is a pale, slightly rosy complexion. Her face is delicately painted with defined brown eyebrows, brown inset or painted eyes with black pupils, and a small, red painted mouth with a hint of a smile. Her cheeks have a soft blush. She has rich, medium-brown, wavy hair, likely synthetic fiber, styled with a center part and falling around her shoulders. A pretty headpiece crowns her hair, consisting of a delicate green vine or ribbon adorned with several small, light pink fabric roses. She is dressed in an elaborate, floor-length gown of light beige or off-white sheer fabric, possibly organza or chiffon, over a lighter, possibly satin or cotton, underdress. The gown features multiple ruffled tiers on the skirt and ruffled sleeves, giving it a romantic, somewhat formal appearance, reminiscent of a bridesmaid's or flower girl's dress. The fabric of the gown appears to be somewhat delicate, and there's a visible slight discoloration or aging to the fabric, appearing a bit dull or muted from its original brightness. The ruffles show some slight creasing and possible minor tears or snags due to age and handling, though no major damage is immediately apparent from the image. The overall craftsmanship suggests a mass-produced doll, but one with attention to detail in the costume design. The visible 'M Zaps West Germany 43' mark in the context likely refers to the doll's origin and possibly a model number, indicating it was manufactured in West Germany, which further supports a mid-century estimate. This doll would fall into the category of collectible vintage dolls.
