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!

The beloved character from books by Lucy Maud Montgomery gets the paper doll treatment with this lovely little set, along with her stalwart friend Diana.
 When I talk about paper dolls being used as inspiration for theatrical costume design this set fits the bill nicely. Simple clean artwork which evokes the period can be a real help to the fledgling or experienced designer as it has been for me over the years.
