*REVIEW* Cecile Vanity and Special Dress with Crinoline



Here is my Cecile with her vanity. She is seen here with her Special Dress or Holiday Dress.


This dress is cotton and comes with ribbons, pearl necklace and white gloves. I like her better without the gloves and pearls. I use her meet necklace instead. I cannot remember if shoes came with this outfit or not.


They vanity is the best I have seen in the doll world. It has a real glass mirror, working drawer, mirror flips and on the reverse side is smooth wood. It is all made of wood and glass. 




 It comes with embroidery on the towel and a metal towel holder on their side. 



Wood detail is just beautiful and the porcelain water dish and basin is breathtakingly beautiful with soft pretty designs that look hand painted. 
It also came with two plastic pieces...perfume bottle and faux lotion.  Love this piece and am so happy to have it as part of Cecile little collection.

    1. I hate to admit it took me awhile to buy it, but I love that they made such a pretty dress such as this for her. It grew on me over the years and now I love it.

  2. Cecile is beautiful, and her lovely vanity set looks like top-notch design and quality. Does anyone know if the ebooks have the illustrations?

    1. Not sure about ebooks. I know that she has a pretty good selection on Amazon and Kindle may offer her older books with the illustrations maybe. But I know that newer ebooks are moving away from older styles.

  3. Ticia, your photos are making me really want Cecile! She is so beautiful! I too have this vanity. I just wish the towel holder was on both sides as the way my doll room is designed, you can't see the towel or towel rack

  4. Your collection is lovely. Almost bought her nightstand when it went on sale. This pictures make me wish I had gotten it. Better than how it was displayed at the store. Madelon

    1. Thank you. She is very pretty. If I did not have the chance to buy her I would definitely get TM 46 or Gabby because they too have similar features. I have 46 and she is so special just like Cecile is. I hope that you find a Cecile doll at a good price because she is worth adding to any collection. Hopefully I will feel that way about Gabby before they pull her collection and then blame it on poor sales like they did Cecile. It hurts the company when they archive dolls too soon. Sometimes people just need time before buying a $100 dollar doll plus all the accessories.

    1. She is a peach. I am glad someone thought to make her a reality. She is such a great doll. We love her on the east coast too with her southern curls and all.
