When I married back in the 70's my mother had a paper mache doll made, wearing a dress made from pieces of her wedding dress. I don't remember the doll hood ornaments tho.

Here is a link to one site for making the "milk filter" bed dolls....I was curious and did a search. There are several links.

Yes, bed dolls rang a bell with me. I remember thinking how wonderful they were, even though you couldn't really play with them...

My Aunt made this doll for me for my wedding 30 years ago. Dark hair like me and she made the dress and hat like I wore. Has been very special to me . She is now 92 years old.

Nena, How neat you kept that doll all these years. Your dress must have been beautiful.

I also remember the doll dresses made with chenille. I made a red one for my mom's bed. Yup, y-e-a-r-s ago!!!

I was married in 1966 and yes there were the dolls on the wedding cars. I remember them well and every bride of the day had dolls on their cars dressed to match the bride and bridesmaids.

I also remember the bed dolls. At one time they were dressed in printed plastic fabric and dresses made from coloured foam sheeting as well as being dressed in fine fabrics.

My wedding doll was and early barbie doll which I have now given to my daughter.

I remember them and they "were" made from milk filters (lottsa folks will ask "what's that")? AND, I remember the "bed doll" had one that had a glass head, hands and high healed shoes and a skirt that was "huge"; used to fold my jammies and place in center of bed with the doll on top of them. (my Mom's orders).
