SynopsisIncludes three lifelike dolls and 18 delightful outfits: pleated and ruffled party dresses; pinafores for home and school; sunsuits for the beach and backyard; belted raincoat; perky sailor suit; and many accessories., This collection of classic Shirley Temple paper dolls reprints two rare books published in the 1930s. Includes three lifelike dolls varying in size from 20 7/8" (covers two pages) to 5 7/8" and 18 delightful outfits: pleated and ruffled party dresses; pinafores for home and school; sunsuits for the beach and backyard; belted raincoat; perky sailor suit; and many accessories., In 1934, at the age of six, America's favorite curly-headed moppet won a Special Academy Award for bringing "more happiness to millions of children and millions of grownups than any other child of her years in the history of the world." By the time she was eight, the young star was the number one international box office attraction. This collection of classic Shirley Temple paper dolls makes the diminutive charmer available once again to delight fans, film buffs, paper doll collectors, as well as youngsters who know Shirley only through television and old films. Assembled by noted collector Grayce Piemontesi, these full-color dolls and costumes are compiled from two rare and popular collections first published in the 1930s. Included in this volume are three full-color dolls -- each a different size. The largest covers two pages and is 20 7/8 inches high; the medium-sized doll (10 1/4 inches tall) is two-sided and comes with outfits that give a delightfully realistic front-and-back view to the figure. The smallest stands 5 7/8 inches high. Youngsters can dress these dolls in 18 attractive costumes -- pleated and ruffled party dresses, pinafores for home and school, and sunsuits for the beach and backyard. There's also a snugly belted raincoat with galoshes and umbrella, a perky sailor suit, and a wide assortment of accessories, including hats, shoes, and handbags. Attractively printed on heavy stock, this affordable and incredibly life-like collection will enchant movie fans, collectors, and children of all ages.
I grew up watching Shirley Temple movies. My mother grew up during the Great Depression and little Shirley was so entertaining to watch that I love anything with her in it. These paper dolls transport me to the 1930s with the beautiful outfits and Shirley to dress them in. I feel like I got a fantastic deal that I can treasure for a long time.
Long height paper doll book has two different Shirley Temple dolls, one larger than the other. She has dresses from that period. Requires scissors to cut out. Brings back memories. Recommended.
