Secondly is the 'To Catch A Thief Doll' which is dressed in the ageless blue ball gown as seen in the 1955 romantic thriller Alfred Hitchcock movie set in the French Riviera she starred in along with Cary Grant.
 


Finally is the most iconic.  The Bride.  The name speaks for itself, the doll will wear a replica of Grace's timeless lace wedding dress and delicate headpiece and veil.
