This heartwarming antique reproduction doll looks like she just stepped out of an old Renoir painting. The exquisite detailing has been painstakingly recreated from books and dress catalogues from that Era by Paradise.

     Except for the Jane Austin period, the female figure was rarely clothed as smoothly and naturally as in the mid-1870’s. Dresses of that time were form fitting from shoulder to knee with all of the fullness and fussiness condensed at the hem.

     Known as a ‘curasse’, the natural from fitting jacket is cleverly designed in a summery peach and white stripe. A row of miniature buttons and buttonhole loops close at the front. The hem of the jacket is wrapped in a beautifully beribboned scarf edged in a row of tiny tassels. A huge ribbon carnation gives a low bustle effect at the derriere.

   The underskirt is created in a cascade of lavish crochet lace layers that trail elegantly at the back. Beautiful bubble stitches, scallops and chevrons in alternating textures create a rich effect.

     The hair is adorned with a frivolous French chapeau of chevron stitches with frills and plumes and geometric design trims.

     She is showed with an antique style reproduction baby buggy.
