American Girl Pleasant Company White Body Samantha
Huge Lot - Retired I
believe this white body Samantha is one of the first dolls made in 1986, but
of course I am not a collector so I am not positive. She appears to have amber eyes and her face
is squishier than the later versions of Samantha. She was sent to the American Girl hospital
just for a check up and cleaning. No
body parts were replaced. She seems to
have a small spot on her chest (see pictures). All of the outfits below are all tagged
Pleasant Company. Meet Dress – Samantha’s Taffeta dress has
a fashionable pleated front and a dropped waist circled in burgundy satin.
Her matching bow holds
back her thick ringlets. She wears long black stockings and
black shoes with
ankle straps. Dress is tagged “Made in
West Germany for Pleasant Company” Buster Brown Dress - Samantha’s G ray Buster Brown dress with its snappy
black bow tie to school to school at Miss Crampton’s Academy. It’s made of
fine flannel and has a pleated skirt and placket front that are top-stitched
in white. Six buttons march smartly down the front, and white collar and
cuffs add finishing touches. It comes with a wide black satin hair ribbon which
Samantha had to keep perky even during afternoon exercise classes. Slight yellowing on a part of the
collar. Cranberry Party Dress - Samantha’s Christmas
outfit of cranberry taffeta is the perfect Victorian party dress . It’s tied with a white
satin sash and trimmed with beautiful lace and elegant ruffles. A pair of
white stockings and
a wide satin hair
ribbon finish this Christmas confection. Hair ribbon has some fraying. Lacy Pinafore & Rosebud Circlet - Frilly and fanciful,
Samantha’s birthday dress is
or rose- and white-striped taffeta. It’s covered with a crisp white pinafore that has
ruffled lace “bretelles” and a wide sash that ties into a huge bow. There are
even party stockings to
go with it. But the crowning glory of this outfit is Grandmary’s gift, the
old-fashioned circlet
of rosebuds that once belonged to Samantha’s mother. Tie
it around Samantha’s head and let the soft ribbons float on her dark curls. Middy Dress with Tam - Every Victorian girl
had a middy dress , a
most popular style in 1904. Samantha’s is trimmed in black braid with an
anchor, a crest, and stars on the back of the big square collar. A shiny
brass bo’s’n’s whistle hangs
on a cord around her neck. With the middy , Samantha wears a sailor’s tam for an
outfit that’s truly shipshape! The tam
has some fraying on the ribbon on the tam. High Button Shoes - High button shoes in black and white are a stylish part
of Samantha’s wardrobe. Samantha’s Nightgown - A nightgown fit for a
sugar plum fairy! Samantha wears a flowing white gown trimmed with lace and
pink ribbon. Fine lace forms the wide shoulder ruffles and a dainty version
edges the neck. Play Dress & Pinafore - Samantha dressed like
a proper young lady even when she was playing. Her dress of blue and white
window pane check had a big yoke and crisp white cuffs. The ruffly play pinafore was supposed to
keep the dress clean and the matching hairbow was supposed to stay tied even
when she was climbing trees or chasing bratty Eddie Ryland. A pair of
white socks is
included. Tea Dress - Samantha practiced her manners during afternoon tea with
Grandmary. She tried to act like a proper young lady in her starched
white dress with
its big detachable Bertha collar trimmed
with a rosette and ruffles. It comes with a pink satin hairbow that matches the
lovely wide sash and a pair of white socks . Be careful she doesn’t spill tea on such a
pretty dress! White Party Slippers - Samantha’s shiny white
patent slippers are
trimmed with bows that match her tea dress. How Pretty! Also included are several Samantha books. One book does have writing on the cover page. Samantha
