These boudoir dolls are called "Ring Ladies" by collectors. We believe them to be French. They have felt hands with individual stitched fingers, long torsos and molded breasts. They usually have elaborate hairdos and outfits. They have rings on their fingers, hence the nickname "Ring Lady." I do not know the exact maker. 
This doll wears a new, homemade outfit.
This Ring Lady wears a silk velvet gown, trimmed in chiffon. I'm not very knowledgeable about fabric so I might be misidentifying the chiffon, but it's a soft, sheer fabric. The hair decoration may have been added. I don't know for sure.
Here is a closeup of the hand. This is typical of Ring Ladies.
