AVA GARDNER 1949

AVA GARDNER 1949.

She had a rare beauty that transcended even her image on screen in the 1940's and 50's. This set showcases the actress near the beginning of her popularity with some vivid outfits and film costumes.

[ NOTE: Her skis in the third image wouldn't fit on the page so you will need to attach them separately just above her gloved hand. ]

More paper doll finds will post next week!

 

CENTURY DOLLS - PART THREE

CENTURY DOLLS - PART THREE.

Here is the third and final part of this very pretty set. Some lovely antebellum gowns for the ladies in the family and period appropriate outfits for the men.

More paper doll posts coming next week! 

 

CENTURY DOLLS - PART TWO

CENTURY DOLLS - PART TWO.

Here are the next two dolls in this very pretty set. Again I have done some work to remove the bad punch out lines which cut off the bottoms of the gowns.

The third and final part will post tomorrow. 

 

CENTURY DOLLS - PART ONE

CENTURY DOLLS - PART ONE.

The 19th Century to be exact and by the cut of the gowns post Civil War. This set was issued in the 1960's and unfortunately had punch out clothes. The punch out lines completely destroyed the nicely drawn lines of the outfits particularly the ladies hemlines. I have attempted to fix this problem with some digital cleanup.

Part Two will post tomorrow.

 

BRIDE & GROOM 1949

BRIDE & GROOM 1949.

Wedding sets have always been popular and this one is especially interesting as a document of post WW II fashion transitioning into the 1950's. For some reason the Best Man and Maid of Honor are shortchanged however as they have only their formalwear and no other outfits. 

I'll have another fun set to post next Wednesday.

 

HAYLEY MILLS - THAT DARN CAT

HAYLEY MILLS - THAT DARN CAT.

I think my favorite Disney star would have to be Hayley Mills. This set was issued to go along with the last of her Disney films and while it isn't great it is very Hayley in spirit.

For other Hayley Mills paper dolls featured on this blog see:

Aug. 6, 2023 (Moonspinners), Aug. 29, 2023 (Pollyanna), Dec. 27, 2023 (Hayley 1960's) and May 16, 2024 (Hayley & Annette on Vacation).
