I loved paper dolls when I was young. Betsy McCall was one of my favorites. It is so nice to here others loved them too. I made a paper (fabric) doll quilt for my grandaughters birthday last year. I think it was more for me.

Loved those paper dolls! I had no sisters so they were ALL MINE!

Mother bought very few magazines when I was growing up, but this was one bought especially for her girls who didn't have many "real" dolls.

Oh Dear God, I remember my yearly Lilt well. It was not just a normal Lilt, I had to go all the way to Nutley (from Newark) so my Aunt Lillian could do the job! Then in every kindergarten picture I look like Bozo the clown. Straight crown, bizarre curls the rest. I thought I was the only one. Thanks for sharing.

My younger Sis has a Betsy McCall Doll. She loved it as a kid, and still has it, with lots of clothes in her little doll carrying case.

Oh, I used to love my paper dolls! My mom got me the comic book, Millie the Model, that always had paper dolls in the centrefold.

This is a terrific site, my granddaughters will love it!

I remember those. Great memories. Remember the little tabs to open up so the paper dolls could stand?

At summer school for special ed. students we made paper dolls. I brought in fabric and we lamaniated it along with the dolls. We cut out outfits and applied them to the dolls with velcro dots. It was so much fun.
