I love the new ideas artists have, especially for paper dolls. Since it is still spring and on the verge of summer I think that these Flower Fashion Fantasies Paper Dolls are fitting.

These lovely Floral Brides paper dolls were published back in February. They’re by Brenda Sneathen Mattox. Each gown is designed after a specific flower, such as Calla Lily, Rose, and Orange Blossom.

I’m not quite old enough to have owned one of these Crissy Colorforms sets, but I remember my slightly older aunt playing with something very similar.

This set of Grimm’s Fairy Tales mostly features Snow-White and Red Riding Hood. Hansel & Gretel features charming children and a not-too-spooky witch’s gingerbread house. It’s…
Here are colorful, sweet 1960 Little Women paper dolls. The girls look especially childish and particularly smiley and happy. Love it! Janet Nason’s 1981 Little Women paper dolls were drawn in watercolor, with charming accents on the pages as well. These Little Women paper dolls from 1934 were based on the 1933 RKO Radio picture…
As a huge fan of Alphonse Mucha and Art Nouveau, I’m so excited to see these Mucha paper dolls. I normally don’t keep paper dolls in pristine mint condition, either – I cut them out and play with them, even at my advanced age of 40+! They look very intricate and time consuming to cut…
I was so delighted to see these Alexander McQueen paper dolls. They don’t feature some of his more radical goth-and-skull designs. Mostly they’re long flowing beautiful dresses, a bit intricate to cut out. RELATED LINKS: Alexander McQueen.com Alexander McQueenn, on Wikipedia
