    I think this doll is a Miss Bonnie The Bride Doll, she has short red hair, sleepy eyes, eyes look grey, she has earrings, necklace, stiletto heels. But her dress isn't white, it is a champagne color or perhaps a light pink? I can not find this dress anywhere, she has a bouquet and matching veil. Arms and legs are not jointed. She has on a pair of nylon and lace panties, may be home made?

    Hi, Jaime! Lovely doll. Have you checked the back of her neck for any marks?

    I know little about dolls, except for the few that I had when I was a kid (and still have...)

    During the late 1950's and into the 1960's, there were LOTS of "Miss Revlon style" dolls made, in imitation of the "real" Miss Revlon. I have one, and I'm wondering if yours might be one, too(?)

    This one is mine. She seems to have similar earrings to your doll. The mark on the back of her neck indicates that she is one of the MANY fashion dolls made in imitation of Miss Revlon:

    How tall is she?

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    This is supposedly a Miss Bonnie doll in the original box, with paperwork. Unfortunately the seller did not include images of verification. However, if it is a Miss Bonnie, I would say that yours does not look like her.

    This one is in a box that is verifiable from the photos as a doll called "Bonnie Bride." I don't know if it is the same as Miss Bonnie. She also looks different, and doesn't look like the first one!

    Earrings are exactly the same, face is a little different, she has no marks on the back of her head or anywhere else except the one mid back. She is 18" high. Thank you, your doll is lovely!

    Maybe eyes are supposed to be green?

    No I don't think she is either one. The reason I thought Miss Bonnie was because her shoes are exactly the same on several dolls I found. I thought maybe mine was a different year? One thing I noticed different about mine is her lips are very red (not pink) and are painted on very small.

    While I'm on here about dolls, I have another doll that came with her, she is about 10" high and her feet are destroyed. Probably not worth anything but here is a picture of her.

    Hi Jaime, I know practically nothing about early plastic dolls as my collection is comprised of 18oo's to about 1920's dolls .. but I think I can see that your doll is jointed at the arms and legs, making them bendable .. if you are selling do point out that they are in fact jointed at the arms and legs .. Joy. :)

    (Still on the first one) - Yes, she is!

    Also, what mark does yours have in the middle of her back?

    By the way, have you ever checked the DOLL REFERENCE site? (TONS of info there!)

    That's a great site, especially if the doll is marked, but mainly shows just pictures of faces, so harder for me.

    I don't think your doll is made by Ideal. I believe all Ideal dolls were marked.

    I can't see what is stamped on the back of her neck....it's too blurry.

    Here is a doll in original box....Bonnie Bride.
