Cinderella (Aschenputtel) Monika Levenig

The story book series by Monika Levenig is a very special group of four dolls. The first in the series was Red Riding Hood. Cinderella, Ht 48", a full body vinyl sculpt with eleven joints is the largest size that Monika has created. She can sit or stand.

Monika writes, "She has a very pretty and happy, smiling face as she is looking forward to seeing her Prince. Her eyes are green and her hair is blonde with very long soft curls."

The theme and look of Cinderella's outfit is based on the classic Grimm's Fairy Tale. In the story, Cinderella is friends with the white turtle doves who spin her three beautiful dresses of silver and gold so she can go to the dances put on by the King who is looking for a lovely bride for his son, the Prince. For the third, and final dress, the slippers were made of gold and Cinderella left one golden slipper on the stairs as she left the ball. It was that golden slipper in the original version that the Prince took around to find his true love.

Monika has taken the description from this Grimm’s classic and created her own unique beautiful gown for Cinderella in silver and gold. The fabric used has a silver embroidered thread woven into the fabric. The accents on the dress are done in gold. Monika's Cinderella is adorned with a beautiful crown showing that she was selected by the Prince in the end to be his Princess. Cinderella comes with one of the doves that perches in her hand to remind us of the story and Cinderella's kind heart. She comes with a wooden doll stand.
