Description: A lovely 8” Madame Alexander #562 Belgium in box with wrist tag from the International Doll Series, ca. 1981, from Snowdrift Antiques.The Alexander Doll Company was founded in 1923 by Beatrice Alexander, aka Madame Alexander, and is still in operation today in New York, NY USA. The Alexander-Kins, Wendy, Wendy-Kins dolls, which are 7 1/2 - 8" tall, used the Wendy face mold from 1954-1994. Many of these dolls are either unmarked or marked ALEXANDER or ALEX.This is a very pretty 8” Madame Alexander doll dressed in a Belgian traditional outfit, #562. She has brown sleep eyes that open and shut with ease. Her black hair is in its original set with a flip curl at her neck. Her face has lovely painted features, I found no marks or rubs and her cheek blush is bright after all these years. She has that sweet Madame Alexander Wendy face lip pucker.She is a strung plastic doll with a socket head, and jointed arms and straight legs. The mark on her back reads: ALEXANDER. The rubber bands used to string her were loose so she was restrung with elastic which should last longer.Her blue cotton dress has white trim around her neck and at the sleeve hems. She has a pink and white cotton check apron that ties in back. Around her neck she wears a red plaid print shawl with red fringe trim. The dress is tagged in back with a label that reads: “Belgium” / by MADAME ALEXANDER / New York, USA. The dress closes with two snaps in back. The outfit is clean and crisp, looks like she was never played and spent most of her years protected in her box.On her head she sports a bright white cotton wide brimmed bonnet that is held to her head with white cotton ties.Her under garments consist of white cotton pantaloons with lace trim at the hems and a white cotton underskirt with lace trim at the hem. The elastic at the waist of the pantaloons was stretched so a few stitches were sewn to tighten it up. She wears white socks and black faux suede slip on shoes decorated with two gold beads.She retains her original wrist tag tied to her left wrist; it has a copyright date of 1981.Her Madame Alexander blue box is labeled BELGIUM 562. It is in excellent condition with light wear on the edges and only a slight indent on each side of the base. It retains the inner neck brace to hold her in place when boxed and the original pink tissue.This precious little Madame Alexander Belgium doll is looking for her new home, will it be yours?
