Susan Gibson of Reeves International First Ladies Doll approximately 14 inch Dolly Madison vinyl doll is dressed in a replica of the ball gown that she as first lady wore at James Madison, her husband's first Inaugural Ball. Her husband was our nation's fourth President, and he was in office during the War of 1812. Dolly's reputation is that she was a charming hostess, who also saved the painting of George Washington when the British attached Washington D.C. Outfit and hairstyle are similar to Regency-era costumes in England, a personal favorite for me where costumes are concerned. . She has brunette wig that is put up and encircled by a pink band, and blue eyes. Susan Gibson reproduced the historical inauguration ball costume, a gorgeous empire-style cream colored formal evening gown with pastel embroidered flowers. This style is like formal fashions of the early 1800s. This doll is a piece of history. She is near mint-in-the-box with tag old stock. She was manufactured between 1986 and 1988.
