FASHION SHOPPE.

Here is a look back at 1930's ladies' fashions and the little Shoppe where they could be purchased. This is a delightful playset that any little girl of those days would have great fun setting up and playing with.

Here's a cute duo with some spiffy 1960's fashions to close out the week. 

These remind me a little of the Betsy McCall dolls.

I'll be back next week with more unique and unusual paper dolls!

 

NATIONAL VELVET

NATIONAL VELVET.

No, not the 1944 film starring Elizabeth Taylor but the 1960 television series starring Lori Martin as Velvet Brown. There were a great many TV shows from the early 1960's which are largely forgotten today and this was one of them although it was a big hit at the time and got the paper doll merchandising treatment to go along with it.

 

DISNEY STARLETS - 1960

DISNEY STARLETS- 1960.

This is a strange little set, reimagining the Disney princesses as if they were starlets under contract to the studio rather than animated characters. Later sets would include Aurora from SLEEPING BEAUTY in the mix but here Annette Funicello (an actual person) has been added. This is no doubt due to her popularity at the time although here she is made to look like an animated character herself. Weird.

Compare this set with the posts for  MGM STARLETS - 1951 (Oct. 26, 2023) or  PARAMOUNT STARLETS (Dec. 23, 2023).
