Kitty Dale 1959: A Collectible Vintage Fashion Paper Doll Paperback – June 8, 2007

It is true, compared to some other paper doll books, the colors are slightly pale, but this is not a printing error: the author used coloured pencils to create her doll and costumes, as she did in her other books.The clothes are beautifully represented. If you love clothes from the late fifties/early sixties, you will definitely love this book.I gave the book four stars, though, because the paper the costumes are printed on is rather thin for a cut out book (it feels like 100grs copying paper - for all you non-European readers: 80grs is the weight of standard copying paper), AND advertisements for het other books are printed on the reverse side of the pages, so they will shine through a bit, which IS really annoying.The doll itself and her most glamorous costumes are printed on the front and back cover, so they are of better quality.All in all, I am happy with the book, but it could have been better.

The colors were very pale in the book, but the art was truly first rate. There were only 3 sheets inside, with 3 costumes per sheet. The back and front covers have clothes and, in fact, have better color on the shiny paper. I'm glad to have the book, but I wish the colors weren't so washed out.

relly enjoyed the pictures, of the ereas was time*

I agree the colors are very washed out. It's an interesting enough collection but not for the price. I doubt if I will buy more from this author.

A nice addition for paper doll collector or fun for cut and play.
