This Daddy’s Long Legs folk art bride doll was selected for its sculptural presence, textile craftsmanship, and its place within one of the most recognized artist-led doll lines of the late twentieth century. Designed by Karen Germany, Victoria represents the bridal figure within the Daddy’s Long Legs collection and is regarded as one of the line’s most enduring and visually complete designs. Produced in 1994 as a signed, numbered limited edition (#1855 of 2500), the piece reflects a period when artist-designed dolls gained wider recognition as collectible American folk art. The doll retains its original hang tag, supporting its documented provenance within the Daddy’s Long Legs line.
The figure is dressed in a full-length white bridal gown constructed with layered fabric, lace trim, and a flowing veil that gives the piece both volume and softness. The proportions are intentional, allowing the doll to sit gracefully while maintaining a strong silhouette. Hand-painted facial features provide warmth and individuality, reinforcing the handmade character central to the artist’s work.
Daddy’s Long Legs dolls were created as decorative folk art objects rather than play dolls, intended to inhabit domestic spaces as seated figures that read as both sculpture and textile art. Victoria exemplifies that approach, combining expressive form with carefully executed costume design. As an African American bride figure, the piece also reflects the broader cultural significance of representation within American folk art traditions of the period.
The doll is in excellent pre-owned condition and retains the artist’s signature on the leg along with its original limited edition numbering. The dress and veil are clean and intact, with no tears or staining observed. The figure shows no chips, cracks, or repairs. The piece photographs and displays beautifully.
