French Fashion Dolls were dolls created in the 19th century to showcase the fashions of their day and to help teach young ladies how to gracefully grow into women. The dolls are much prized today for their exceptionally detailed clothing and accessories including everything from nightgowns to opera glasses to evening gowns. 
The vast majority of French Fashion dolls have bisque heads, glass eyes, and leather bodies. The earliest French Fashion dolls had porcelain heads (glazed china) and early examples often had multi-jointed wood bodies.
