KATHERINE HEPBURN. This is another of my mash-ups. The fashions somehow evoked the Hepburn look for me so I made the doll over to match.

[Jetsons Background Right Side]
THE JETSONS. This is a combination paper doll and playset featuring the familiar characters from the 1960's animated TV show. There's even a tri-fold background to pose the dolls in front of. Way Out!

RITA HAYWORTH
RITA HAYWORTH. Here is a lovely set with some gorgeous gowns. This was cut so the tabs may need some reinforcement.
[This is a good point to share a little secret that I use with full skirts on the paper dolls: I make short tabs using extra paper from the cut out clothes and some double stick tape. With the gown properly fitted on the doll place one tab on each side of the legs between the knees and the base and fold them back over the legs. This keeps the bottom of the gown or skirt tight up against the doll for a better look.]

SUSAN HAYWARD
SUSAN HAYWARD. Here's another mash-up of mine to honor the Academy award winning film star who should have had a proper paper doll set devoted to her back in the day. Three dolls have about four pages each of 1950's style fashions.
