| "Canada" from the 1970s Madame Alexander International Dolls line. |
A disproportionate number of "Canada" dolls from Dolls of the World lines from any company tend to be either dressed in faux-RCMP uniforms or else in borderline stereotypical Inuit traditional wear. Shockingly, this release managed to avoid that and instead put out this Acadian-inspired outfit, which is not something you see every day.
If you're in Canada, Happy Canada Day! If you're from a country whose national football/soccer team is playing, good luck! And if you're none of those things, Happy Tuesday!
Quality on older Madame Alexander dolls is almost always good, but I find the color choices here... interesting.
ReplyDeleteHeh, true enough! To be fair though, those busy fabrics are pretty common on traditional outfits from the Maritimes though, so I think there's some historical inspiration there.
DeleteOh I love her little outfit! I would have never thought to put those colors together.
ReplyDeleteIt is different, isn't it?
DeleteI actually just unpacked her (you can probably tell by the creases in her dress), so I think she'd look a little different in full display-ready mode.
I like her little pursed lips. She looks like she doesn't take any gruff.
ReplyDeleteHa, it's true! She must be a tough one!
