Doll News Summer 2014 - (Page 148)
by Nicki Burley
here is one thing that every doll
longs for most of all. If Jane
Austen had written about them,
she might have said, "It is a truth
universally acknowledged, that a single
doll in possession of a good dress must
be in want of a hundred more."
Collectors know how true it is. They can
be demanding creatures, and for their
owners there is nothing like the thrill of
opening a trunk full of outfits, savoring
the tiny details one at a time. Every time
a doll gets a new dress, she radiates a
satisfied glow. When the dolls are happy,
everyone's happy!
Though there is never enough time
or fabric for every doll in the cabinet to
have the new dresses longed for, there
is one kind of doll that always seems
to have a vast and stunning wardrobe.
Fashionably ready for any occasion,
it seems she gets new dresses in mere
moments, to the envy of all the other
dolls. Who could this marvel be? Is
she a breathtaking Jumeau? A delicate
French fashion? The glamorous movie
star, Gene, or the style leader, Barbie?
Surprisingly, she is just the humble,
versatile paper doll. Whether a fairytale
princess or a smiling little girl, the
vision of an artist or the drawing of a
child, she is always as well-dressed as
she is beloved.

was the largest employer in Framingham, Massachusetts through most of the twentieth
century. (Glenda Kitto)
The New York Dennison store was all decked out for the Christmas holiday in 1913 with
crepe paper streamers and cases full of paper novelties. (Glenda Kitto)
