         Native Dolls are made in the islands .  blackw.jpg (23978 bytes)They are approximately 9 inches tall.  dollfa1.jpg (17181 bytes) Each doll wears the local or native attire of her ancestors and this type of attire is presently used for special occasions - an elegant native dress with madras head tie and wrap.  

        natred.jpg (34646 bytes)They gently hold the end of the skirt in their arm to show off her delicate cotton slip trimmed with lace, as is the custom.  They wear a cotton and lace apron (with St. Croix written on it) and  simulated pearl earrings and with their hair tied back.  

    They wear lace panties and the legs are stuffed so that they can stand up.  Mvc-026s.jpg (26788 bytes)Their eyes, nose and mouth are indicated by a stitched design  and her hair is made of yarn. They make a great decor and conversational piece.  Great for collectors. Our dolls all have different prints- please write for more information.
