This doll that I have stands 22 inches in height. The head, neck, arms, and legs are porcelain and the rest of body is fabric. Does this mean anything?
Please respond. Thanks.

What matters is who manufactured the doll and how old it is. Look for markings on the neck, back or feet.
What I have learned if you find no markings is to peridocally put a brief description of the doll into eBay or Etsy's or Google IMAGES search engine and look for matches to help you find a value.
For Ebay, NEVER use the active auctions for value (they are GREAT for info), but use the SOLD auctions to help you determine current market value (it is a button on the left--at least on my screen).
For yours I would type -- bride doll 22 -- and see what comes up. Today there was nothing. Tomorrow there could be several.
Without knowing exactly who she is (maker/year), it hard to give an apples to apples "value".
The other thing with value, is that it is what people will pay....not what you paid or what a book says it is worth...but what someone today will actually give you money for the item. This goes for ALL collectibles. They could have a book value of a million dollars, but if someone won't pay that and you want to sell it it has no money value.
Since I have been playing with dolls (as an adult), I tell people collect what you love and enjoy them...if there happens to be a "value" to it at some point that it is a happy bonus!
Enjoy her!
