Melanie is dressed in a lovely outfit with a lot of exquisite detailing. Her dress is a very pretty pale green check with pink rosebuds and double layer sleeves, with a matching bonnet. She has a cute green and white striped apron over it and a white eyelet petticoat under it. She has white eyelet pantaloons, tights and white mary jane shoes.
Melanie is carrying a basket with a baby in it. The baby is also porcelain and its little dress has the same lovely attention to detail, with smocking around the yoke and a satin ribbon tied at the neck. It even has a tiny diaper on! The baby's wicker basket has a pillow and mattress in it that are made of satin.
In addition to being beautifully painted and dressed, Melanie also has a music box in her that plays "Hush Little Baby". This is possibly my favorite part, because I just love music boxes.
The doll came in a pretty pink box with a certificate of authenticity and a wrist tag on the wicker basket. This is just a delightful doll.
