1946-49 17” Madame Alexander Composition KAREN BALLERINA

Description: This is simply a lovely example of Madame’s iconic KAREN BALLERINA. The doll was manufactured from 1946-1949. She has had no repaint and has very minor paint rubs at her joints. This doll has been well-cared for her 76 years. Her hair is a pale blonde saran, parted down the middle from her forehead to the back of her neck, pulled back tightly, with lovely braided buns coiled over her ears and a single braid across the top of her head. Her hair is adorned with blue and beige peonies - original to the doll. Her eyes are clear and hazel and her lashes are full and complete. They easily open and close. Her lower painted lashes have not faded. Her face is untouched through the years and beautiful. She has small craze lines on her body and limbs which are hard to see, but this doll is totally original and the only replacement item is the small bouquet of vintage flowers at her waist. Her tutu has become “limp” through the years, so I sewed her a powder blue tulle tutu petticoat with an MA square closure snap to give it more fullness and life. I have also applied MA square snaps to her wrist ribbons so they can detach from the skirt of her tutu, which gives her the flexibility to pose in a variety of ways. The tulle of her tutu acquired scattered holes through her 76 years, so I delicately stitched the netting on the overskirt in such a way that I hope one can hardly notice it. Her satin ballet slippers and their beige ribbons are original, as are her blue silky bloomers. She is a nice-sized beauty and deserves to be displayed. admired, enjoyed, loved. Thank you for looking, and Happy New Year to you!
