I DO NOT THINK THAT THIS DOLL WAS EVER REMOVED FROM HER BOX. NEW AND IN MINT CONDITION. A spectacular FRANKLIN MINT GIBSON GIRL Doll. THE GIBSON GIRL BOUDOIR DOLL.
Approximately 23 inches tall, dressed in pale blue & white satin & lace dressing gown & kimono. Details include pearl & cameo choker, silver hand mirror, painted slippers and stand. DOLL HAS HANG TAG & SMALL BROCHURE & CARE INSTRUCTIONS BUT NO C. Crafted of fine hand-painted bisque porcelain and painted by hand. She is authentically costumed in a floral jacquard kimono and a dressing gown of charmeuse with accents of lace and satin rosettes.
The clothing and accessories are hand-detailed. This beautiful collector doll is an original that was available exclusively through the Franklin Heirloom Dolls division of The Franklin Mint. The perfectly beautiful Gibson Girl, created by Charles Dana Gibson at the turn-of-the-century, is remembered as the epitome of femininity and grace. She was the symbol of the woman that every girl longed to be and that every man was in love with. A portrait of flawless beauty, the Gibson Girl took the time to pamper herself.
This was evident even in the decor of her boudoir, which surrounded her with a beautiful array of feminine opulence. Frilly flounces dressed the windows and lavish ornamentation adorned the walls. The Gibson Girl's beauty routine was simple, she applied a light, sometimes tinted dusting powder to her face and perfectly applied mascara to her long, lush lashes before styling her hair in her signature fashion.
She would then plan her dress to coordinate with the day's activities, which could range from sporting events to hosting a tea to attending an opulent ball. The Gibson Girl's wardrobe was elegantly simple in design. When in public, her fitted dresses required a tightly laced corset to create the legendary "S" curve popular during that era. When entertaining intimate guests at home, however, the Gibson Girl dressed much more comfortably but no less meticulously.
The Gibson Girl's kimono flowed languidly about her body in soft folds. This sensuous, flattering gown was worn over her feminine dressing gown. It was elaborately designed and made from luxurious fabrics such as rich satins and crepe de chine. Yards of feminine lace and intricate hand embroidery embellished the gowns, making them just as beautiful as those worn in public.
This Franklin Gibson Girl Boudoir Doll beautifully captures the exquisiteness of a woman from a bygone era. Luxuriously costumed in an authentic turn-of-the-century dressing gown, she is a vision of loveliness. In her hand she carries the essential hand mirror found on every woman's dressing table. From each delicately hand-painted fingernail to her perfectly rouged cheeks, she is the quintessential Gibson Girl, recaptured for you.
