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. 

Gilbert

 

This single page paper doll is in my Doll Reader folder. Pat Stall is the artist. I am unsure if there is a second page missing. Black and white boy from 1879 with 5 costumes. 

Advertisement Dolls

 

Here are a few double sided trading card type paper dolls the dolls can share clothing. These were unmarked from any particular brand. But the idea is that a vendor could put their own advertisement text on the inside of the dolls and an incentive to buy more product to get more dolls and outfits.They fold in half and the outfits usually fold over the head or wrap around 

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. 

Little Dancer

 

I am unsure where this came from but it is a paper doll of the bronze Little Dancer statue by Degas created by the artist Jean Sander. Black and white. Two outfits, a hat, and a purse.

Miss Molly Munsing

 

Antique paper doll advertisement for Munsing underwear.  One doll with 8 unique outfits, some duplicates, and a pair of shoes/tights. From around 1903 or 1915 (dates on internet vary. Missing hats and accessories. Cut set

25 Dolls with 149 Dresses

I am unsure if I posted this set before but I could not find it with a search.  25 Dolls with 149 Dresses by Queen Holden from Whitman 1938.  This has 2 sets as I had some duplicates of the dolls and scanned them all.  All 25 dolls though some are worse for wear in played with condition.  Includes many clothes but I did not count to see if all 149 are accounted for. Jack and Rose are designed to hold hands. Doll 8 Margery looks very much like Shirley Temple.
