A paper doll with six outfits laid out against a purple ground makes a playful record of how clothing was shown to children and buyers in earlier decades. Paper dolls of this kind were typically printed or cut from card stock, with tabs or folds that let the cut-out garments be fitted over the figure. Dressing a doll in changing costumes let young owners imagine different roles and occasions, and the wardrobe itself often reflected fashions of the day. Look closely at the cut and trim of each outfit to see how dress styles shifted from one look to the next.
