BOSTON HERALD DOLL

Boston Herald Doll Trunk Front
Boston Herald Doll Trunk Back

BOSTON HERALD DOLL.
Every Sunday in 1895 the Boston Herald newspaper would publish a new full color gown to fit this doll. This is an excellent overview of late Victorian women's fashion during a time when clothes were still being created by hand specifically for the wearer by dressmakers.
I have added a little hatbox folder to keep the delicate little hats in and a trunk folder for storing the doll and her gowns.
 [Glue or tape the sides and back of the trunk pieces together leaving the top edge open so you can slip the items and the hat box inside.]
