Value of Fashion Doll?

What is this doll worth? My aunt probably got it in the late 1950's. There is no maker name on the box. It also came with an additional dress.

Does your doll have joints? I think you have Dollikin doll

Dollikins were dolls manufactured by Uneeda Doll Company .
The Uneeda Doll Company founded in 1917 by the Sklarsky family in Brooklyn, New York. Dollikins were marketed as The World's Most Posable Doll and were manufactured from 1957 to 1980.
Dollikin's began as 19-20" fashion dolls, marked UNEEDA 2S (sometimes mis-read as Uneeda 25 or Uneeda 28). They had rooted hair in various colors and several styles, sleep eyes and sixteen joints.

Your picture does not provide enough detail to properly identify the brand. You also did not include the size, and all brands of this type of doll were produced in numerous sizes.
Size can make a difference in value.

Have you checked for a brand name on the back/head for a brand?
Your doll does appear to be a Uneeda brand doll but the only way to be sure is to check if she is fully jointed (body, arms, legs) and has Uneeda on imprinted on the back of the head.

Here are some listings of an original Uneeda doll.
Be sure to look at all of the pictures so you can compare with your doll. These dolls are shown on eBay's sold listing site.

If you check and your doll is a Uneeda then look carefully at these listings to see how they describe their dolls; notice the quality and number of pictures (most important).
These listings were all auction-style listings. Just be sure you have the beginning price at an amount you're willing to accept for your doll - then any amount received over that will be a plus.

Here are examples of what your doll should look like if she is an original Uneeda.
