Based on the classic Christian literature by Martha Finley, this faith-based, all-vinyl collectible 18¾" playdoll comes dressed in a historically-inspired frock of custom dyed cotton in a soft yellow gold color, trimmed with lace and embroidery. The bodice is accented with pearl buttons, and the sash and flounce are of green satin. Ribbon roses adorn her waist. Elsie wears two layers of petticoats, white ruffled pantalettes, white patent leather Mary Jane shoes, and white stockings.
She has sparkling hazel eyes with “real” lashes, and a sweet countenance reflecting her famous irresistible goodness. Fully-jointed, she can sit, stand, put her hands together in prayer, and be posed in many positions. Her hair is made of Kanekalon, the finest wig fiber in the world. Elsie also comes with her miniature black Bible. Also available in the Elsie Dinsmore doll line are over 20 fabulous doll outfits and accessories unique to Elsie's time period and life experiences as found in the A Life of Faith: Elsie Dinsmore book series.
The A Life of Faith: Elsie Dinsmore series of books charts Elsie's life story. You'll first meet her as an eight-year-old girl living on a wealthy Southern plantation in the mid-1800s. In the books that follow you'll read of her trials and triumphs as she grows up, marries, and even has children of her own. You'll enjoy reading any and all of Elsie's stories, but they're best when they're read in order.
