Bride dolls were really popular back in the late fifties. They were like the princesses of today, I suppose. Google "Bride dolls, vintage" and you will see many. A red velvet dress with white trim? Be still my heart. And white patent leather shoes...no gift will ever match up to those. <br />I remember the Monchichi dolls. They were a bit strange. Not as strange as bride dolls, probably.

And I always got a pair of patent leather shoes for Christmas which were just amazing... I can still remember the smell. Plus a large Monchichi doll that was very beloved around the same time.
