FHD Catalog Description (1998):
"One of today's most romantic designers commissions the skilled artists of The Franklin Mint to create her very first bride doll.  Crafted in hand-painted porcelain, she wears candlelight-white satin, with a bodice of embroidered lace.  Her bouquet is white satin roses, gathered by ribbons and faux pearl streamers.  And the crowning glory is a cathedral-length veil of tulle, adorned with white satin roses."
Seller's Notes & Observations:
Catalog page I found online is photo 12 - 1998 Catalog
The African-American version of this doll is named Natasha.
The photos were taken in artificial light and therefore the photos have a cream tinge though this dress is described as "candlelight-white satin" so not pure white.
The hands and feet have painted-on gloves and shoes and are in unusual poses.
The bouquet is to be put on her wrist via the elastic loop not held in her fingers.

Shipping is ACCURATE
- the doll is packed, weighed and ready to be taped & mailed (3 lb 5 oz
). You pay actual POSTAGE cost which eBay calculates from my zip code 53149 to yours.  I do NOT inflate shipping CHARGES like many sneaky eBay sellers nor charge for ULine shipping boxes which cost me -3 each - I use the smallest shipping box possible while still protecting the doll & doll box.  Photos 9, 10 & 11 show the doll being packaged - the doll & doll box are secured & cushioned.
- If the package is returned UNdeliverable, shipping costs will NOT be refunded
