{More Marisole Monday & Friends Paper Dolls}
Accessories are tough. I always struggle to decide how many pieces is “enough” pieces. Part of learning to work in this new daily format has been about deciding, “How much makes up a post?”
Anyway, that’s all by way of saying, I might have gotten a little carried away on this one.
I have a lot of sources to site for this eclectic collection of pieces. The shoes in this accessory set come from two different sources. The white pair of shoes comes from Philadelphia Art Museum. The boots are from this advertisement from The NYPL Digital Library. Both pairs are from 1908, sticking them right at the end of the era I’m interested in. The purses come from this particular page from the 1902-1903 catalog of the Chas. A. Stevens & Bros out of Chicago. Her parasol was based on this one, sort of. I think the resemblance is a little spotty.
The hats come from a range of sources. The lavender and blue roses trimmed hat comes from this image from the NYPL Digital Gallery. Her furs and another hat come from this page from National Cloak & Suit Co‘s 1907 catalog. The truth is that hats of this era were very flamboyant. That makes them fun and challenging to draw.

Lastly, just because I’m super curious, what are your favorite paper doll accessories? Hats? Shoes? Books? Swords? What makes your experience more fun?
Also, I swear I did nothing but scan last night, so I am trying to decide what to work on this weekend. There’s a poll!

So many fun choices on the poll! I am definitely looking forward to the new paper dolls.
The new paper dolls sound amazing- such a hard time voting! In answer to your question, gloves are the accessories that I love the most, but headgear is a very close second. Thanks for Accessory Thursday!
Too many good choices in the poll! Although my vote was counted for the wrong thing somehow. I meant to vote for post-apocalyptic B&B but it got counted as hip-hop.
That’s odd… I don’t know if I can fix that. I shall check.
Love this set! I feel like it could mix with so many other sets, not just this week’s theme (which I’m enjoying!).
It is again a very lovely paper doll set.
My favorite paper doll accessories are ray guns.
