Doll:French Fashion Doll

French Fashion dolls from the second half of the 19th century came with more than just the latest fashionable dress for visiting, or dining, or taking tea. Some dolls had their own extensive wardrobes or trousseaus of elaborately stitched dresses, gowns, robes, coats, and underwear. They had lavish accessories: kid gloves, hats, umbrellas, purses, jewelry, even opera glasses. This doll, outfitted in an elaborate green silk dress with a lace appliqu퀌� and delicate beadwork, has many accessories to match her costume, including a green silk handbag, rhinestone earrings, and a velvet bonnet with silk bows and decorative flowers.
