MISS TWA

MISS TWA.
Here is an unusual souvenir paper doll set featuring what appears to be a photo doll of an actual stewardess for Trans World Airlines, the now defunct company that opened the skies to international travel back in the mid twentieth century. Her uniform seems to be a photo capture too while the other outfits are traditional drawn clothes. I especially like the color postcards on each page for the various locales she might travel to along with appropriate fashions for each country.
This was one of those dreaded "magic" dolls with clothes which were supposed to stay put without tabs ( but never really did). I have added digital tabs to each outfit so she can be printed out and dressed properly once again. Enjoy!
