Madame Alexander Portrettes Anastasia (Cissette)




I was able to get this at an antique mall in IL because it was on sale, although higher than the Queen of cheap has had to pay before. I think I got a good buy, although she is missing her shoes and her cape. I didn't realize about the cape at the time. Oops. I plan to keep a watch on ebay as eventually everything seems to show up there! :-) Or I will make one and use tatting as the trim as the little loops will be easier to mimic.
FYI: Cissette dolls are a very popular Madame Alexander doll and are just under 10" tall. They have a fashion doll figure but the Cissette doll is also used for other character dolls--the Portrette series being one. If you ever find a Cissy, you are really in luck. They're about 20" and go for a lot. I'd never hope for one.
