Paper dolls and their costumes have been found from as early as the 1780’s so we know that people have been making them for at least 250 years. By the end of the 19th century, paper dolls were being manufactured by American companies including McLoughlin Brothers, Peter G. Thompson, Dennison Mfg and Frederick A Stokes and Company, but commercial dolls are an extravagance if you can cut people’s pictures from a magazine and make a wardrobe to fit, or better still, draw your own doll and then make the costumes. It is always a delight to find hand made paper dolls and their wardrobes or just the dresses themselves.
The artistic designer for this late Victorian paper doll and her wardrobe began with a 3 ½” magazine cut out of a young girl. It’s the first paper doll I’ve seen whose face is turned away from the viewer and the first collection of dresses that we view from the back. Most of the dresses are designed with tabs
The artist made ten detailed doll costumes from a variety of different colored glazed papers and four matching hats. The original dress pattern is here too.
The doll and paper dresses are in very good condition. It interesting to look at all of them from the back to see the construction. Please examine the photos and feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
