Page 61 of the the  Encyclopedia of Bisque Nancy Ann Storybook Dolls : 1936-1947 by Elaine Pardee and Jackie Robertson states: #57 Southern Belle, jointed leg. JT. Tulip print in pink or yellow, unusual black felt jacket. $125.00*

*Note This dress should be on a jointed leg doll. There are other frozen leg dolls with the same material dresses but they don't have the black felt jacket and the skirts are trimmed with satin ribbon. Because this is a frozen leg doll she is only worth about $55.00.
