Boarding School Paper Dolls

Boarding School Paper Dolls, a 1942 reproduction, is not only a charming bit of nostalgia, it is a reminder of a bygone lifestyle. Six sweet girls, high school age, dress-up in style (even for classes), changing their clothes for every occasion in their busy day. Their classic wardrobes are extensive, including smart suits, snappy coats, perky playsuits, sleepy-time pajamas and robes. And of course, each school girl gets a lovely prom gown. "Slack Happy Days" are as casual as they get. This double-cover paper doll book is colorful, cute fun, but also a delightful glimpse into times past when the very idea of going to boarding school was an aspirational daydream for many little girls.
