Paper Doll Collaberation 2018 February Date Night

Base
 The theme for the month of February was date night, inspired by Valentine's Day.  The first dress is based on a real dress that of course I can't find a picture of now.  The other dress I imagine in a blush/pink or maybe champagne color and is inspired by vintage lace dresses.  I don't actually dress up to go on a date but I've always liked the idea of wearing something fancy to go out to dinner.  I created  a pair of shoes to go with the short dress and a little hair heart.  Also a box of chocolates, of course, my favorite Valentine's gift!

Fu Mei Ling



Happy Chinese New Year!  This year is the year of the Dog.  I'll admit I don't have many paper dolls from China or depicting Chinese people.  I found this one, it's from an old Children's Playmate magazine dated September 1942.  The  single page paper doll is Fu Mei Ling drawn by the artist Fern Bisel Peat.  Note the doll has costumes for a girl and a boy, how wonderful.  The doll has traditional costumes along with hats.  Fern Bisel Peat also drew the cover of this issue.

This magazine is no longer published.  The artist name simply says Kay.  The doll has 5 showgirl style outfits, one with a matching hat.

This two page paper doll is from Doll's magazine August 1999.  The paper doll has three lovely gowns, some head dresses and a mask.  It features Shakespeare's character Juliet from Romeo and Juliet play/story.  I'm not sure I'd personally consider her a 'heroine' but I enjoy the colorful costumes of this paper doll set.  The artist is Teri Wilson.

Dress the Snow Family

This cute two page paper doll is from Jack and Jill magazine dated January 1961.  It features 3 snow people paper dolls, a mom, a dad and a child.  The outfits are hanging from a clothing line, what a cleaver idea!  And hats are laid out on a bench.  I love the overall composition of this set, it's a charming visual story.
