Maria Von Trapp from 'The Sound of Music' MINIKIN Doll

The past couple weeks has seen us busy with custom orders, but we've managed to list another precious little Minikin Doll in our Etsy shop.

Elizabeth and I have always been crazy about musicals, and one of E.'s favorites is The Sound of Music. It didn't take long to think of making a miniature doll of Julie Andrews as Maria Von Trapp (actually, she's not a "Von Trapp" in the first scene of the film --- what was her maiden name?!).

 Julie Andrews Doll as Maria Von Trapp in The Sound of Music

This little Maria is dressed in her Nun's Novice dress and apron. This outfit is worn by Julie Andrews in what is probably the most well-known scene of the film: the singing of The Sound of Music. Maria's dress is made of wool/rayon felt, and the stripes on her apron are actually hand-sewn! Her hair is made of blond mohair doll hair. Feel free to browse through our Etsy shop (link at the top of this page).
