Item History & Price
Vintage 1955 Madame Alexander Cissy Doll Summer Gown 2095 with Hat, Purse, Shoes, Undies & Hose
** 3 day auction **
(Doll is not included.)
This 1955 Summer Gown ensemble was originally sold on the doll.I found this ensemble at an Estate sale and a Cissy doll wearing a boxed extra sundress.I assume the doll I found may have beenthe doll that came with this ensemble.
She is shown modeling the dressbut the doll is not for sale (only the outfit)
Cis...sy's ensemble included the organdy gownwith the red satin sash that was tucked and gathered at her waistand tied in the back. The sash is in beautiful condition.At her collar there is red ribbon inserted through the lace.She has val lace for her sleevesand a silver trim around the neckline.The outerskirt is cotton organdywhile the inner skirt is a taffeta.
She also has the underskirtmade of tulle with a rimthat supports the outward flare of the grand skirt.This tulle underskirt is in very good condition.
The ensemble includesthe original horsehair hat with its flowered arrangement and red trimand gold chin strapthat still has good working elastic.
Included is the red satindrawstring purse
Also included are her red high heelelastic sandals.The elastic of the sandalsis stretched andneeds to be fixed sothat they stay properly on her feet.
At the estate sale the dress was foundwith a layer of surface dustso I removed the waist sash and the flowersfixed to the front of the dress in order to soak the dressto remove the dust.
The four flower arrangementsin the front of the dressoriginally had a green staple likeattachment that I removedand was unable to replace.So instead the flower arrangementswere hand stitched back into the locations where they were found.Buyer may consider whether to keep my hand stitching or remove and improve - but note the organdy is fragile -
I also handstitchedthe red sash back into the similarlocation as it was originallyas much as I couldwith the 3 tucks.
The dress has a faded pink color runon the inner taffeta skirt wherethe red ribbon may have lain for a long period of time (see images).
The dress still has a few discoloration spotsin the organdy you will see on the sleeve, the bodice, and in the skirt.Please view all images.
Also in the front near the flowersthere is a spot of something on the organdyI couldn't tell what it was but included a picture.
The Taffeta Undieshas 2 small holes in front at the creasewhich cannot be seenunless you flatten them out.
The hose/hosiery have no runs, no holes.
Unfortunately, the tag is torn from the dress.as I could not find it.
Someone showed me a picture of the tagin their 2095 doll dressand it looked as if it would have been located in the bodicenear the shoulder.
The dress & ensemble are featured on page 33 of Kiley Shaw's book, "Cissy! Reference, Rarities, Restoration"
Please feel free to ask questionsor request additional photos of differentparts of the dress if you need them.
I have found no odors.As it was an estate sale, I do not know the history of the items.
