Description

Paper doll made of cardstock showing a woman in a corset cover and petticoat. The corset cover is elaborately flounced and decorated with lace and ribbon, and there is a matching flounce of lace and ribbon at the hem of the petticoat. She is wearing two blue beaded necklaces, and two gold beaded bracelets on each wrist. The head attaches on the reverse to a long neck (now detached), allowing the chin to hang over clothing. The hair is light brown and held in a top knot. There is a rectangular cardstock tab on the reverse that allows the doll to be propped standing up. The back is printed with trademark information and the label, "ARTISTIC SERIES XIV".
