I do remember Betsy paper dolls. I also had a Betsy McCall doll. Small, maybe 8-10 inches. I made clothes for her.

I had forgotten about Betsy McCall! I used to love cutting them out and playing with them.

I remember Betsy and the books you could also buy to punch out the person and then cut the clothes out of the inside pages. Had to be very careful punching out the people as I would lose a hand now and then! My Mom did the permanent thing to us also. I HATED it! They were called "Tonnette(sp)" and my mom and aunts would do the Tony permanents on each other. Stinky!!!

yes, i remember them fondly from my mom's mccall's magazines

I've also been thinking of Betsy McCall Paperdolls lately! I was never allowed to cut them out of mom's magazine by myself, but had hours of fun with them. It was really fun to save them from one month to the next, sort of like Christmas with each edition. Things changed somewhat when my younger sister came along, as she preferred toy trucks over paperdolls and Barbies. Funny thing, today she is an excellent quilter and her name is also Nancy! Thanks for a good memory.

Yes, I do ! My grandma & aunts used to save them for us ... haven't thought of those in a long long time :)

I remember paper dolls. and recently came across a McCall's paper doll page I saved and stuck in a folder for my daughter who is now 31. I guess she didn't get that one. opps

Nancy...I too loved the Betsy McCall paper dolls.

Thanks for the walk down memory lane
