DODI

DODI.

We started last week off with Tammy & her Family of dolls. This week it's Dodi, Tammy and Pepper's friend with her rather lavish wardrobe. I like the pose of this doll and the clothes are great allowing for a lot of mix-n-match outfits. 

As was usually the case with these paper doll versions they look better that the actual dolls did.

 

MODERN BRIDE 1966

MODERN BRIDE 1966.

There was a popular magazine called Modern Bride which had it's heyday in the 1960's. This set reflects the then "modern" vibe with the jaunty poses of the dolls and straight tailored sheath dresses and narrow lapelled suits.

I have used the folder artwork to fashion a bi-fold background to pose the dolls in front of for some retro wedding party play.

 

STYLE SHOW

STYLE SHOW.

That's the title on this set from the early 1950's. I'm not sure how stylish any of these outfits actually are. This serves as another look at the transition period in American fashion between the decades.

 

JUNIOR MISS - JUDY & BETTY

JUNIOR MISS - JUDY & BETTY.

Here are the other two dolls from the Junior Miss set. Judy and Betty are another couple if "inbetweens", not children anymore but not yet young women as reflected in their outfits. I like this set a lot especially some of the patterns on the dresses. This is a good example of clothing from this transitional period between the 1930's and 1940's.

 

JUNIOR MISS - MOLLY & PATSY

JUNIOR MISS - MOLLY & PATSY.

This cute set reminds me of the Andy Hardy films from the late 1930s and early 40s. These young ladies are definitely "in-betweens" as Judy Garland famously sang in one of those. Not little girls anymore but not quite grown up yet.

I will post the rest of the set tomorrow.
