Ashton Drake Galleries- Bride of South- Charlotte

"Charlotte" is the first issue in the Brides of the South collection porcelain doll by artist Lee Dunsinore, issued by the Ashton-Drake Galleries. Charlotte is the embodiment of feminine grace in her elegant wedding hat, and wide-skirted gown. Charlotte's gown is the height of femininity, with its off-the shoulder neckline and full skirt of organdy, with a deeply embroidered floral hem. Her waist is tied with a wide sash, she carries a basket of magnolias and spring blooms, and her crowning glory is her wedding hat, festooned with gathered netting, elegant flowers and a tiered wedding veil. Charlotte is a porcelain collectible for decorative use, and designed to be treated like fine china.
