My grandmother made her dress, thus resulting in her name "the walking bride doll." She doesn't have a proper name and never has!
When you move her legs, her head turns from side to side. Her arms are connected with a rubber band, and can also be moved up and down.
I have always thought she was the most beautiful doll. Not because she is blonde, because it was hard to find dolls that WERE not blonde when I was growing up. I just adore her face.
Her eyes look blue or green, depending on the lighting. They are sleep eyes.
She is about ten inches high.
I am glad that this doll is still around to enjoy today. My grandmother was a talented seamstress and I enjoy the doll clothes that she made.
I have always wished that she had been able to teach me sewing. Her Parkinson's was too advanced by the time that I was old enough to start sewing. Still, I have been able to teach myself and I am beginning to catch up to her in skill!
