Paper Dolls & Their Coats

So, this has apparently been the coldest winter on record where I live in Alaska. Long stretches of over 20 below is not exactly my idea of fun. I am working my way through the whole experience the best I can with a good parka, a hat lovingly knit by my mother and thick warm gloves. Gear makes all the difference when it is cold outside.

It’s finally above freezing (yay!), but the roads are awful (boo!). It’s April, but there’s still so much snow on the ground. It’s nice enough for long neighborhood walks wearing my homemade cotton mask, hat and light coat. Happy to be out of my parka, for the moment.

This got me thinking about papers dolls and their coats. One of the problems with paper doll coats is that unlike fabric, paper doesn’t squeeze down to fit in a coat sleeve. So, not everything can layer under a coat.

I probably missed one or two sets with coats, so if you know of one I missed, please drop me a note in a comment. 

I know it’ll be spring soon (or so people tell me) and at least I can see blue sky out of my home office window.
