Marvellueisse Agnes von Weiss has been de-boxed and I am struck at how much her outfit and her hairstyle, make her look so much like the Woolworth Heiress Barbara Woolworth Hutton. It really is astonishing.
This gown is breath taking, and so 1930's elegant. The jewelry is chic too.
Here is a comparison photo of Barbara Hutton with Agnes , side by side.
They look similar, don't they? Here Barbara is faintly smiling, usually she does look like Agnes, pouting or sad.
Here are a couple of other photos of her, with that beautiful hair done up in swirls and curls so fabulous in the thirties and the forties.

Barbara WoolWorth Hutton- Wiki
She was born on November 14, 1912 in New York city and lived a tragic life. Her mother committed suicide and Barbara was just four years old when she found her. Mostly raised by her Grandfather and grandmother, she was distant from her father and stepmother and always felt used for her money. She not only inherited the Woolworth fortune but her father's Hutton fortune, as her father was a co-founder of E.F. Hutton and Company, a brokerage firm.
The doll's purse is an eye popping leopard clutch with a long tassel and a zipper on top. The skirt is a see through lace affair with train, making the white top with the Gibson girl sleeves more striking with the Turquoise jewelry, she has earrings, necklace and a ring. I did not get a photo of her shoes but thank goodness they are easier to get on than some of the other shoes they have been giving us- they are lace up stilettos which look nice when put on, I was surprised. Overall, I am extremely pleased with this doll! So my new Agnes will now be called Barbara...now all I need is her rival, Doris Duke.

Pretty lady!! Normally I wouldn't like sleeves like those, but those look great!
thank you! I thought these sleeves looked not only vintage/antique but had a modern flair the way they designed them.
Wow, what a gorgeous doll! There really is something about her that is very eye-catching. She definitely looks like Barbara.
