SIX & SWEET SIXTEEN - PART TWO

SIX & SWEET SIXTEEN - PART TWO.

Here are dolls 3 & 4 from the big 6 doll set. Typically everyone has play clothes, party dresses, nightwear and coats and hats, the staples of most paper doll sets.

I'll post part three tomorrow.

 

SIX & SWEET SIXTEEN - PART ONE

SIX & SWEET SIXTEEN - PART ONE.

Here are more Fabulous Fifties Fashions in one of the "look alike" sets, in this case sisters who dress alike, from 1955. They even have look alike pets! This is a big 6 doll set so I will post Part 2 & 3 over the next few days. 

 

ROMANCE DOLLS

ROMANCE DOLLS.

I don't know much about this set from the 1950s except that the dolls are attractive and the outfits colorful with lots of Hats which are my favorite part of any paper doll set. In those days before the 11 inch fashion doll was introduced I can imagine this book being very appealing to the little girl in the Five and Dime store.

 

PRINCE VALIANT

PRINCE VALIANT.

This Sunday comic strip created in 1937 and still running today follows the adventures of a noble knight and his fair lady Aleta. The fantasy look at the Middle Ages is reflected in the very colorful costumes depicted in this set. Somehow today's costume designers have given everything from that period a grungy monochromatic look which is totally wrong. Ancient times, just like today, were awash with color so the clothes seen here are probably more accurate than you might believe. 

 

DOLORES DEL RIO FILM FASHIONS

ROY ROGERS & DALE EVANS

ROY ROGERS & DALE EVANS.

From their early days in countless Western films, through success on radio and then television in the 1950s when this set was issued, Roy and Dale were the King & Queen of the cowboys. There's some seriously fancy western wear on display here and a bi-fold background to pose the dolls in front of. Happy Trails!
