This is the 1985 limited edition Easter Parade doll by World Doll. I think she's the prettiest Judy Garland doll I've ever seen. Her tag reads "Judy Garland as Hannah Brown in Easter Parade".
She is a beautiful doll, and she looks quite a lot like Judy. She wears a costume patterned after the white gown that Judy wears in the finale when she sings the title song, though the designer took some liberties with the pattern, as is generally the case with dolls. But, it's a lovely dress.
She also wears a big, beautiful bonnet, similar to the movie version, with flowers on top and pink ribbons hanging from the back. She has a purple-colored brooch, a pearl necklace, and a hang-tag which is a miniature reproduction of the original movie poster.
Her hair is very nicely styled, though it is not the same style as Judy wore in the movie, and it is black. She is made entirely of vinyl, and stands 18" tall. She has a white nylon slip under the gown. The gown is full-length, hiding even her shoes.
I bought this doll mint-in-box in 1995 for $275.00. I've seen one for sale since at $125.00, one for $400, and I saw one sell on the eBay Auction site for $80! So I don't know what the going price is. As with most collectibles, the selling price probably varies considerably.
