1970'S BRIDE.

Ah the 70's.....50 years ago and oh the things we wore! Still this Bride and Groom were ultra stylish in their day.

I will be posting some more from the seemingly endless trove of wedding sets this week.

AMERICA 250 - BETTY BONNET'S PATRIOTIC PARTY.

From the Ladies Home Journal in July 1917 comes another whimsical party thrown by little Betty Bonnet their resident paper doll. I think the costumes on display here are delightful and I have added a bi-fold background to pose the dolls in front of. In need of a unique display piece for your own 4th of July party? Well here it is.

HAPPY 250th BIRTHDAY AMERICA from PAPERDOLLAPALOOZA!

 

AMERICA 250 - WAR GIRLS

AMERICA 250 - WAR GIRLS.

War Girls was the original title for this set from 1943, a time when calling a young woman a "girl" might have been socially acceptable. Today it will probably get you a slap.

This is a lovely set with very interesting uniforms and leisure attire. A fitting tribute to the women who served our country during it's most trying hour of WW II.

AMERICA 250 - COLONIAL WOMEN.

Counting down to America's 250th birthday here is a set from 1976 and it's 200th. Paper dolls can be fun and also educational. These are a great example. A fun way for a grandmother or great grandmother to educate a young girl or boy about our shared American heritage by explaining what people wore and how they lived in the beginning days of our country.
