Dress a Doll Kelly

 

Sometimes I totally forget I made a thing or if I shared it or not. I designed this base inspired by Mattel Barbie's little sister Kelly (also sometimes called Shelly or Shelley?) the base comes in two variations one with undies for those who do not care for doll nudity and one without. There doll is bald so that one can design hair for it. I designed this in 2020 using Adobe Illustrator and I think I may have posted on Facebook. But seems I never uploaded it to the blog. Anyway, feel free to print it out and design outfits. 

Beauty Contest

 

So this is a set I swear I've posted yet when I searched for it on the blog nothing came up so I am posting it again.  Paper Dolls Beauty Contest with floats costumes prizes from Lowe (?) 1941 features 21 dolls if I counted right with costumes. Set may not be complete. 

Baby Doll with cloth-like clothing

 

Another possible repost. Baby Doll with cloth-like clothing is from Whitman 1944 by the artist Kathryn Taylor and features 4 babies with 'cloth-like' (flocked) clothing 

Captain Kid Jr.

 

This is a black and white copy of a Laura Brock paper doll from the newspaper Junior Ledge Page date Sunday August 6 1933.  Many times when I have purchased lots or collections the collector includes copies of the items they are missing.  The page is a white color instead of the yellowed newspaper print paper. The text reads "Captain Kidd Jr. Pirates have gone out of style on the high seas so the little fellow may be excused for not looking very fierece but dress him up in the uniform and he will look like a real descendant of the famous sea rover who unfurled the Jolly Rover on the Spanish Main in search of luckless ships bearing jewels, pieces-of-eight and other treasure.  We fear he will not have much luck however, with the 'pirate ship' he has in his hands.  Copyright 1933 LA times."  The baby/toddler has one pirate outfit and hat.
