What kind of doll is this? No Markings

Yikes - that doll definitely comes to life at the stroke of midnight!

 

They are hobby plastic dress-up dolls. They come naked and ladies crochet and sew outfits for them.

vintage plastic dress up doll

 

My Great Grandmother crocheted hundreds of outfits for these dolls. They used to sell them at church bazaars to raises funds.

 

This one looks like a refugee from the Corpse Bride.

 

Unless she got into Mansons' stash and mixed it with my rocket fuel coffee?

 

I had totally forgotten my dear grandmother had one of these on her bed with a huge hoop skirt she had crocheted ! I wish I knew what happened to it.

 

You don't give any measurements of the doll. I had a similar one growing up, called Nurse Nancy. I'd estimate the age to early 60's or so. If it is a larger doll, bigger than 12", I would guess that the original clothing was replaced by some inspired mom. One wouldn't come new with hand crochet clothing.

I just looked again at your post and see the ruler, so it is about 7" tall. I would still date it to the 60's or 70's, it has a nice full head of hair and the moving eyes with hand painted eyelashes. More likely what the other poster said about being a "bed doll", sold in a lot of department and craft stores. The sky is the limit for the style of dresses that were made for these dolls, they were certainly beautiful.
