Body Construction
This 28″ doll has a hard plastic torso and legs with soft vinyl head and arms. She is jointed at the neck, shoulders, elbows, hips and knees. She has an unusual construction in that her face and legs, with high heel feet, are obviously adult, while her flat-chested, pot-bellied torso and stubby arms are more like a child. She is a walking doll and her head turns.
She has blonde hair rooted in a short, curly style, vibrant blue sleep eyes with lashes, and painted lashes under each eye. Her lips are red, while her fingernails are more of a rosy peach color. Her toenails are unpainted.
Markings
She is marked “EEGEE” on the back of her neck.
Clothing
Our blushing bride wears a satin, lace and tulle wedding gown which was available in a variety of styles. Her wired hoop petticoat is attached, and she also wears white taffeta panties, nylon hose and American Character style white heels. Her jewelry also varied, but would have included teardrop pearl earrings, a rhinestone engagement ring, and some type of neckace. She carries a small bouquet of white fabric flowers. Her tulle veil may be decorated with rhinestones, flowers, braid, netting or all of the above. The same doll was also sold in a street dress under the name Little Debutante.
I work at a thrift store and a 28″ eegee bride doll exactly like your picture (has dark hair) came in the other day. She is in near mint condition. What is she worth?
Also got a 1950’s Miss Gadabout cowgirl doll in mint condition. Any idea about her value?
Thanks for your help.
It depends whether you are going to list them online, or just offer them for sale in the shop. In the shop, I would ask $49 each. Online, I would price them at $95 and then come down if necessary. The reason for the difference is because in the shop, the most likely buyer is a dealer who is then going to resell online.
Thank you so much!! We got $75.00 Miss Gadabout cowgirl. I’ just now putting out Eegee bride. Thanks for you help.
Did you sell the bride doll? I had one just like her and kept it for years. Somehow lost her dress and I finally tossed her. Of course, now I would love to have one for my great grands.
I have 2 EEGEE bride dolls. I’m getting ready to sell them. Is there any thing I can do to unfrizz the hair?
Unfortunately, my sister and I played with them so much that the bride dresses were not in good shape. However, I have a suitcase of coordinating clothes made especially for them.
I plan to dress them in various outfits and post them with the dolls.
I’d appreciate your suggestions on the hair. Also, if you know of anyone who would be interested in buying them, please let me know.
Thank you,

I am hair-impaired, so hopefully someone who is better at it will chime in, but I know that a fabric softener rinse does help to smooth it.
Can I please get one of your Bride catalogs
I have this doll…she is beautiful but damaged from time. Her head, face, clothes are in perfect condition but her arms are split at the seams & shoes are dry rotted. Is there a doll hospital for repairs?
I’m looking for this exact doll to buy for my grandmother! Does anyone have one for sell!? Please!!!!
Are you still looking for this doll Monique? Turns out I have one… I was cleaning out a storage room and found this doll in a box. It’s in mint condition!
Is it for sale. My mother had one as a little girl and was telling me about it so i thought i would see if i could find one and surprise her.
Yes, it is for sale. I’m not sure how to go about sending you some pictures of it and how to send it to you if you’re want to buy it.
