I cannot determine what brand this doll is. Does anyone have any further info for me please?
Thank you in advance.

Did you undress the doll and look for markings? That is your first step. Look under the feet, the back, the back of the neck and the chest.
Hello :). I did, I completely undressed her and looked everywhere! Not a marking or stamp or anything to be found unfortunately, hence the post here. I want to give her as a Christmas present but would like to know at least what Collection she belongs to.
Can you please post her height? Any marks if you find them? What he her body made from (plastic, fabric)?
Her hair style, to me, is more of a 1990s style, so I am thinking she is about 30 years old give or take. Since ballerinas were a common doll theme back then, a few more pieces of info may help me figure out her history.
Thanks!
Hi there! Thank you so much for helping me :) she is 16 inches tall and here are 2 pics of her undressed. I am unable to find any markings whatsoever
Thanks for sharing the additional photos.
I am thinking she may have been a kit doll or a doll where she was assembled at a big box store as part of a class where everyone made ballerina and dressed them on their own using the same kit.
I say this for 2 reasons:
1. Her construction does not look manufactured--meaning seams are not straight, the head is affixed with what looks like yarn or string, the chest area looks like it was improvised.
2. Often these "kit" or "class" doll heads were not marked. Sometimes if the bodies were pre-stuffed, they had tags that were required by law for stuffed animals. I am actually surprised that the body doesn't have the tag.
This little lovely has a very similar face, slightly different hair and what looks like the same hands and feet, so she may have been created in the same way:

The one above is selling for $18, reduced from $25.
Perhaps someone who is higher power expert on this site -- I am a low to mid level expert :) will either know the exact kit name or will tell me my memory is terrible and she is a branded doll.
To get final confirmation on her, you can post her on other doll sites and get a second opinion or get a trusted vintage doll dealer to confirm or deny my assessment. I strongly recommend a second opinion just for your piece of mind!
Please post back what you learn. She is lovely!! For your sake, I hope it is my failing memory :) and that she has more value than I realize!
