Identifying a Porcelain Doll?

Identifying a Porcelain Doll - doll wearing a feather hat and long dressI love this beautiful porcelain doll, but I have no information. I'm not trying to sell it, just wondering about the style of clothing period.

When we sold these, we called these Victorian theme gals.

Doll markers loosely adhered to the true fashion trends of the era they were trying to emulate...but they often mixed and matched.

The wiki (below) calls the Victorian era of clothing as approx. 1830s through the 1890s.

I peg the headdress as late 1890s. I peg the full dress as a earlier, maybe 1830s because it is full, high waisted , but not bustled, and the sleeves are somewhere maybe the 1880s. Usually Victorian sleeves were very fitted at the bottoms and poofy at the tops.

There are so many cool sites like Pinterest that show images of original Victorian era clothing. I could spend hours in these photos. The work on these (original items) was outstanding!! So detailed!

Here is a wiki devoted to the era with photos: upload.wikimedia.org/.../Fashions.jpg
