The doll has two dresses, one salmon color with black bow and peter pan color and the other a light pink with floral print detail. she is wearing a green dress with black shoes paired with white socks. she is holding a pink purse and a small bouquet of flowers. Her brown hair is short with a flip and a black bow. The design are from Chiquet and available as patterns to buy at the time. This is dated June 1930.
The text reads:
Beth is ready for her first party and expects to have a wonderful time! If a pretty frock will help, she will indeed. It is made of crepe de chine with a high waist, scalloped skirt, and a bateau neck.
But one cannot always be dressed for parties, so for less festive occasions Beth has two other dresses- a flowered crepe with a round yolk which extends in the front and forms a panel and a handkerchief linen with pleats in the front and back for fullness, a round collar and a perky bow, just the thing for joyful romps. Are your dresses ready for the happy June days?
These patterns will help you if they are not.
then it list the patterns and sizes and years ect. Patterns were just 20 cents!
A lovely paper doll. Thanks so much for sharing.
