I got her from a friend and have had her for a few years, but can't keep her anymore. I can't find her anywhere. I am just trying to figure how much she is worth.

As beautiful as she is, there are a lot of bride dolls on the market. There is one like her on Etsy along with many others, with a asking price of $39.99, keep in mind that these are not sold prices, average sales are under $25 - www.etsy.com/
Your doll was made by Aston Drake and her name is Elizabeth.
Titled Elizabeth's 1900 Wedding Dress and was made in 1994 and she is 18" tall.
This is one doll that is listed for sale on eBay. She is listed at $49.95 plus shipping and the seller has had her listed for over 2 years and she has not sold.

This doll has been listed on eBay at $39.95 plus shipping for over 9 years and has not sold.

There are at least 12 of this same doll listed on eBay for sale and many more on other sites. The asking prices run up and down the scale but asking prices are just a price a seller would like to receive for their items. Only a sold price of an identical item shows current value. Your doll appears to 'used' and most of the dolls listed for sale are new, in their original box with all papers and COA so you cannot compare prices paid for a new doll against a 'used' doll.
This is a link to the sold listings on eBay:
The prices paid for dolls like yours (only new, in the box) runs fro $20-$45 (price of doll plus shipping). Your doll would be in the lower range and may take a very long time to sell.

Yay cybergrannie!! You have a great eye!! I had set this aside when we started down the "refrigerator rabbit hole" and was just going to start to research her when I saw you solved this mystery!

Dear original poster, if you do decide to sell her you have lots of good info here on her value and who she is.
If she was mine (I am a long time reseller including dolls)--I would start to advertise her in April and May in a local market (like maybe on Next Door or your local Facebook Marketplace) and talk about how she would be a perfect gift for a June bride or as a gift for a bridal shower. She would make a unique hostess for a Zoom shower--which I understand are now all the rage--where families are holding virtual bridal showers with crazy themes.
Or if you have a local consignment store, I would see if they can sell her for you. She would be great posed on a shelf to showcase their bridal section like my favorite consignment store does. If you had anything else bridal related that you could consign along with her, if they don't have a bridal section, maybe you cold stock it and get them started!
She is very fragile and shipping her would be a challenge. I stopped selling fragiles online a while back. Too many issues with breakage to risk it.
Post back how your sale goes! Thanks for sharing!
