An Extremely Elegant Edwardian

This fabulous 11 inch tall bisque fashion lady by Galluba and Hofmann has managed to retain both her elaborate mohair wig and her intricate Edwardian gown of silk and lace for over a century.  The light brown mohair wig is twisted into a braided bun, adorned with pearls and plumes. Her gown, although a bit yellowed and tattered, shows the delicate details that Galluba lavished on its fashion ladies, from the lined lace bodice to the tiny bead "buttons."  Her graceful arms have been left white to long represent gloves and she has matching molded white high-bottom boots.  Underneath she no doubt wears the molded combination undergarments typical of Galluba.  There are no visible marks.
