Introduction

ISBN: 0-486-40211-8

In this elegant collection of costumes for a young lady of the Old South, paper doll lovers of all ages can savor a taste of the gracious living and high style associated with the ante-bellum aristocracy.

Charlotte, a demure miss in her early teens, appears in a broad-hooped muslin petticoat and half boots with smart yellow leather spats. She's ready to put on eight stylish outfits: an aqua silk day dress or a bright yellow house dress, both appropriate at-home attire for a well-to-do Southern girl; a black tunic-style afternoon dress, topped by a jaunty feathered cap, for taking tea with visitors; a blue-and-brown striped spring cloak with a matching blue satin bonnet; a plaid walking dress; a becomingly modest blue beach costume; and two formal outfits--a lavender silk party dress, trimmed in black velvet ribbon, and a lavish ball gown of rose-colored cambric and imported lace.

Beautifully drawn and colored in fine detail, Charlotte and her ensembles offer hours of fun-filled play as well as an accurate image of what well-bred Southern girls wore in 19th-century America.
