THE GINGHAMS - BECKY

THE GINGHAMS - BECKY.

It's The Ginghams all week this week on Paperdollapalooza!

We start with Becky as she goes to school and has a tea party. These originally came in boxes which converted along with the folded dimensional background to form a mini playset. So cute!

More Gingham fun tomorrow.

 

KIM NOVAK 2

KIM NOVAK 2.

I've been searching for this set for years and finally found it recently. Kim Novak was of course a big film star in the 1950's and 60's with roles in PICNIC and VERTIGO. To me this is everything a paper doll set should be: Dolls with nice poses, well structured and believable fashions and my favorite thing Hats!

For another Kim Novak set check out the Sept.24, 2023 post. 

 

BEAUTY QUEENS

BEAUTY QUEENS.

I turned 70 yesterday and here's something else that's 70. A brightly colored set of three Beauty Queens and their gowns from 1955. Quite a lovely trio.

 

ROYAL PRINCESSES

ROYAL PRINCESSES.

This elegant set features the British princesses Elizabeth and Margaret in the1930's and includes several outfits including their Girl Guide uniforms and royal regalia. I like how the robes are meant to bend forward so that they lay flat in front of each doll. A beautifully drawn set and worthy of it's subjects indeed.
