I have no history on this doll nor do I know anything about dolls. Can someone lead me in the right direction of what this doll is made of, how its made, when its made, what it's called. Anything would be helpful! Thanks : )
She sure is pretty!
Very pretty!!! I am sure Manikin could help you out!!! Welcome!!
She appears to be a cloth panel that is pre printed . You cut it out and sew her . Very early company that did these type of cloth dolls was " Art Fabric Cloth" in early 1900's but your's is newer . Hard to tell without holding her and knowing what she is stuffed with to date her but you may see along a hemline a name of the fabric company that designed her . Very pretty ! She has the look of English royalty .
Here is an example of what panel would have looked like before sewn together it is not your exact doll just to see what they look like .

Here is a old one made by Art Fabric Mills that I referred to

Thank you so much! I appreciate the help : )
Your welcome I know I did not show you exact one like yours but many companies and dolls artists have made these panels to sew . They are still making them today . Your doll is very beautifully done !*
