Here are some paper dolls from the 4th Issue of OPDAG's Newsletter from Spring 1984.  All of the dolls are printed in black and white.  Not all of the dolls from the issue are shown here. Some dolls are very small in size.  I am still scanning more issues of OPDAG Newsletter.  I am also working on a holiday paper doll.

Christmas Alphabet

Here's a Christmas Alphabet set from 1983 drawn by Joan Walsh Anglund from "A Christmas Book" republished in Good Housekeeping magazine. I am working hard on my own Christmas paper doll set. 

Another paper doll link

Here's a cute paper doll from MGA Lalaloopsy Advent Calander.  I assume the link is only available on the day of, since I cannot click on December 1st or 2nd. http://www.lalaloopsy.com/smarty_files/templates/downloads/advent/day-03.pdf  These can be printed and colored.

Online Barbie Game and Paper Doll

So while playing dress up games on the internet I came across a game called Tango Dress Designer available through Barbie.com.  I'm sure I've played this game before, but what I did not realize is at the end of the game it gives you an option to print.  If you print, you get a paper doll and eight outfits.  In the game you design fabrics to use to color the dresses.  I chose to leave all 8 dresses white, so when I printed them, I could color them and also save ink.

Here is a link to the game.  You can skip through the game and get to the end to print, or you can play the game and color the dresses online, then print them out to cut out. It is the first game, there are other games available for the other countries.  http://www.barbie.com/dolls-of-the-world/#/Games

Enjoy the link.  Sorry I don't have a picture to post but I do not want to infringe Mattel copyright.

Lolita styles

First off, let me say a late "Happy Thanksgiving" and wish luck to those going out shopping on Black Friday.  This will be my last post for the weekend.  Here are various style lolita clothing for these dolls.  I may do more outfits for these dolls in various fashions. 

Thanksgiving paper doll outfits

A few paper doll outfits I designed for the holiday.  These outfits go to these dolls here.  I created four outfits; a pilgrim, an Indian/native American, a turkey, and a casual holiday outfit.
