A doll, comprising A solid figure having the rear side thereof completely flat, the front side of said figure being contoured from top to bottom to simulate a human form, a base having holes therein and solely supporting the figure upright, means for connecting the figure to the base including a projection extending downwardly from the bottom of each foot of the figure, each said projection having a pair of sides parallel with the longitudinal plane of said figure and of a width shorter than the width of said foot and a pair of sides transverse with the longitudinal plane of said figure and of a width shorter than the thickness of said foot, said projections mating with said holes in a manner so that the connecting means cannot be seen when viewed from the side of the figure opposite the completely flat side, a dress formed of felt material the rear side of which is completely flat and the front side of which has various designs of material and jewelry on different levels to give a three-dimensional appearance shaped to fit over the contoured front of the figure opposite the completely flat rear side of the figure, supporting means extending from the dress on each side of the neckline for holding the dress onto the front of the figure, the connecting means, the figure, and the three-dimensional appearance of the dress allowing the doll to take on a lifelike appearance and the supporting means in conjunction with the fact that the rear side of the dress is flat obviating the necessity of pulling the dress over the figure, wrapping the dress around the figure, or snapping the dress onto the sides of the figure allowing different style dresses to be taken off and put on the figure in a minimum of time with a minimum of effort.
