This lovely lady was originally a pin cushion, pillow, or even a whisk broom doll.  She is quite seductive, and was meant for the bedroom vanity.  She is really lovely, and stands about 3 1/2 inches tall.  She has no damage, and is quite faintly embossed Germany on the back.  She is dressed in her underslip, and is quite shocking for the standard of the day.  Ribbon would have been draped across her, to have her be half dressed.  She is meant to be sewn into a base.  If you don't want to make a base, you can add fabric to a plastic cup, and sit her on that.  

I am including a 3 page copy of an article that I scanned years ago on how to dress these beautiful ladies.  It is at no charge, and I hope it helps you create lovely dresses for your ladies.
