Paper Doll Girls Latest News

It's been a long time since I've had time to blog, but my New Year's resolution is to start blogging again and sharing our vintage finds!

I've been in Paris since November 25 on a buying trip for the shop, and I'll be returning to Australia on January l with HUNDREDS (not kidding) of lovely vintage French fashion ads!  I can't wait to share them with my customers in our etsy shop, Paper Doll Girls.

Here's just one of the beautiful 1920's Art Deco front magazine covers of a woman in a gorgeous pink dress.  This is an exceptionally large magazine with a heavy embossed card cover which could be beautifully framed.  It will be listed in the shop the first week in January.  Stop by and have a look at all our news ads that I will be adding over the month of January. 

Apologies for the quality of the photo, but it had already been wrapped in plastic for shipment home.  I will scan it when I get home and the listing will do it justice!


We've just made a Facebook page for the shop, as well, Paper Doll Girls, so please stop by and LIKE us!

What's featured in my Etsy shop this week?

These are the four vintage ads I've chosen to feature in my etsy shop this week.  I decided to go with a "blue" theme:

 Hardy Amies Blue & White Striped Cotton Evening Dress
Harpers Bazaar UK
March 1947
Etsy Listing #72786157

Sir Edwin Hardy Amies,(17 July 1909 - 5 March 2003), was a British fashion designer, best known for being the dress designer for HM Queen Elizabeth II.   

In 1946 he established his own couture fashion house business, Hardy Amies Ltd, after buying the bombed out shell of a house that was №14 Savile Row. Although Savile Row is the home of English bespoke tailoring, the Hardy Amies brand developed to become known for its classic and beautifully tailored clothes for both men and women.  

 Simon Massey Coat Dress
Harpers Bazaar UK
September 1947

 Wetherall Waterproof Fine Woollen Coat
Harpers Bazaar UK
January 1949

 Edwards & Holms Black High Heel Shoes
Harpers Bazaar UK
August 1948

Stop by the shop and check out the 150+ ads I've listed so far this long holiday weekend!  And, there's even more to come the next couple of days.
