In the 1840s, the slope-shouldered look became popular, so dresses were sewn to hide the natural shoulder line, and mimic a round shouldered look. Women would practice holding their shoulders a certain way to accentuate the rounded look. The things people will do to be "in style"!</p><br />However, more practical women simply bought well-tailored clothing that were cut to provide the illusion of rounded shoulders. The wide v-neck and off-the-shoulder sleeve seam provide the appearance of sloping shoulders. The wide sleeves and the wide skirt also helped to accentuate the shape, while at the same time making the waist look much smaller.<br /><br />You may remember from previous posts (like <a href="http://heritagepaperdolls.blogspot.com/2011/10/claras-1835-pleated-dress.html">this one</a> and <a href="http://heritagepaperdolls.blogspot.com/2011/06/claras-1838-frock-and-pantaloons.html">this one</a>) that young ladies in the early 1800s usually did not wear ankle-length gowns until they were teenagers. Instead, a proper young lady wore a mid-calf gown. In the 1840s, she also wore ankle-length pantalettes underneath. Even with a lightweight material, the layers of cloth and petticoats would be very hot in the summer.<br /><br />Clara also has a bonnet to wear outdoors along with her dress. It has quite a few ruffles and a couple of roses to match the gown. And last of all, some plain boots finish off Clara's outfit for this week.<br /><br /><br /><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin: 0px;">To print Clara's Dress, use this PDF file:</div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin: 0px;"><br /></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin: 0px;"><a href="http://southwestus.com/paperdolls/ClaraDress51-MelindaBowers.pdf"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihLa8BAEtpzEfdIqQ8SJsAUCgfldhp9DsruU1iqGpBeLIz60i328_k3oyrNJBzKXaq3oA5L34uSx5wzJICn-rmzxR7CyQnVL5xTjDjPxYSQlmBtnz09lXf83V61CRVNn_MTjQpJjSeoWQD/s1600/pdficon_large.gif" /> Clara's Dress 51</a> (817k)</div></div></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin: 0px;"><br /></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin: 0px;">Clara is a free, printable paper doll.

A couple of t-shirts, with shorts, and jeans. Clara’s fashion page for this week is a departure from some of the more historical clothing seen previously. However, the colors and decorations used on the T-shirts create the individual style of the wearer. Flower patterns, extra buttons, lace, solid colors, tie-die, stripes... there are so many ways to decorate a T-shirt. Two styles of pants are also represented by the jeans and the rolled-cuff shorts that were popular in 2014.</div>

Clara’s dress for today is based on a Winslow Homer watercolor named
<i>Fresh Air</i>. The painting features a romanticized shepherdess standing with a few
sheep in a field. I thought this was a fun painting that would make a great paper doll dress for Clara.</div>

The girl is wearing is a simple drapy blouse over a ruffled

Clara’s knee-length dress is from about 1970. This straight-down sheath style of dress was a popular fashion in the late 60s and early 70s. The fabric would have been an easy-care no-iron rayon. The flower pattern would have been brightly contrasting colors, more abstract than realistic, which was a common theme of the early 70s.<br />
<br />
Clara also has a pairs of tall boots to wear with her dress today. They were made of leather or synthetic materials, like vinyl, and usually had chunky heels.<br />

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a nice Christmas.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The 1840s were a time of great change in fashion. Dresses changed from a gathered, conical shape to the wide bell shape known as a hoop skirt.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Clara's dress shows many of the characteristics of early 1840s dresses. The wide, shallow scoop neck shape was very popular. In the 1830s, sleeves were generally tight with a poof at the upper arm (early 30s) or at the lower arm (late 1830s). In the 1840s, sleeves still could be poofed, but a new style was introduced -- that of layered ruffles for the sleeves. Clara's dress is an early example of this style.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Another fashion element that was very popular in the 1840s was the pleat. Of course, pleats never did go out of style in the early 1800s. They were just employed in various new forms as designers came up with new ways to modify the pleat. Clara's dress shows how wide pleats were incorporated into a pieced bodice.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Clara's dress is short, so she wears some pleated pantaloons down to her ankles.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Her boots are made of leather, with a linen upper sewn on, and buttoned up the side of the ankle.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

If you look at the portrait of Fanny Hensel on the left, you can see a very popular hairstyle of the 1840s. Clara's hair is worn in the same style, pulled smooth, and worn in ringlets over her ears. Clara is also wearing a poke bonnet lined with gathered silk. A large bow ties the hat under her chin.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The original dress was red with little black polka dots, reminiscent of a lady bug. The original boots were dark brown leather with a lighter tan linen upper part. The hat was lined with a funny shade of peach silk (which would not be a good choice to wear with the original red! Choose a nice color that goes with your dress color).<br />

Clara's dress today is similar to many I remember my friends wearing in the early 1990s. A very straightforward dress, with simple slightly puffed, long, loose sleeves, a gathered skirt with a pointed dropped waist, and a nifty shaped collar.<br />
<br />
Clara's shoes are plain, low-heeled shoes that were likely to be dyed to match the dress.<br />
<br />
The original dress I used as a model was light pink with a white collar. The shoes were dark pink, worn with white tights.<br />

Have you seen <i>White Christmas </i>yet this year? It is a classic Christmas movie. I just love Betty and Judy's dresses at the end. The beautiful satin dresses are trimmed with fur and covered with big red sequin snowflakes. Silver holly trims dress and adds decoration to Betty's hair.<br />
<br />
Clara's dress is based on Betty's dress from the finale. Can you see those nifty long red gloves that Betty is wearing? Very cool.<br />

When I was little, it seems like many years we watched <i>White Christmas</i>. In the movie, four performers help rescue the failing ski resort of a retired Army General. At the end, there is a big finale with all the main characters. There are also quite a few children participating in the play. In particular, there are four young ballerinas dressed in white and red. In the snapshot above, the fourth dancer hasn't arrived onstage, yet.</div>

I thought it would be fun to do a couple of Christmas costumes for Clara based on the 1954 movie, <i>White Christmas</i>.<br />
<br />
Clara’s costume for this week is based on the
young girls’ ballet outfits, complete with toe shoes and a crown.<o:p></o:p><br />

Clara’s dress is perfect for a winter party or a Christmas
dinner. The dress has a classic 1950s silhouette, with a fitted bodice and sleeves, and a wide circle skirt.<br />
<br />
The sweetheart neckline was very popular in the 1950s, but this one is unusual since it has a fully curved neck with no straight lines, as most sweetheart necklines have. The wide waistline is trimmed with five ribbons, adding a nice element of design to the dress. The wide skirt is decorated with embroidered snowflakes.<br />
<br />
A pillbox
hat and some flat shoes finish off Clara’s Christmas ensemble.<br />
<br />
The original dress was a deep blue silk with silver embroidered snowflakes. The hat matched the dress.<br />

One of my most popular dresses for Clara is her Pilgrim's Dress from 1620 (<a href="http://heritagepaperdolls.blogspot.com/2011/11/claras-pilgrim-dress.html">click here to see the original post</a>). Since it's Thanksgiving this week, I thought I would post the dress again for any newcomers to my blog.</div>

If you read my <a href="http://heritagepaperdolls.blogspot.com/2011/11/claras-pilgrim-dress.html">original post</a>, you will find out why the pilgrims did not wear buckles and black dresses, as they are widely portrayed in most Thanksgiving pictures, cards, and other merchandise.</div>

Clara is all dressed up for a special occasion in this 1990s lace dress with a tulip-petal wrapped skirt. This dress has a very simple shape, but the lace adds a lot of texture to the design. The heavy lace top was very stylish, and dressy in the early 1990s. Lace was very popular in the 80s, and stayed popular in the 90s for a while.<br />
<br />
The shoes are some cute slingbacks, decorated with a rose trim that matches the flower on the dress. With such a dressy outfit, Clara would probably wear nylons, although hardly anyone here in Arizona ever does (especially not in the summer!)<br />
<br />
There's not much to say about 1990s fashion in general, other than it's sort of a hodge-podge of fashions from the 60s, 70s, and 80s. It's not as distinctive as fashion from, say, the 70s. Maybe the fashion will appear to be more distinctive when there is more of a time distance from the 90s to today — more of a historical perspective.<br />

<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">I am pleased to announce that earlier this year I created a set of paper dolls from the 1820s and 1830s. They were published, and are available for sale exclusively from </span><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">"<a href="http://celebratingfamilyhistory.com/news2celebrate/?p=55#">Celebrating Family History</a>," a company dedicated to family history and creating and preserving family memories.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">The 1820s and 30s were the early days of the American Frontier </span>expansion, when pioneers began to move west. The paper doll collection includes a little fashion history, and a lot of beautiful historical clothing for a family in the early 19th century.</div>
<br />
The collection is available in both black and white and color versions. You can read more about the collection <a href="http://celebratingfamilyhistory.com/news2celebrate/?p=55">here at Celebrating Family History's website</a>. There is a link at the bottom of the page, or you can <a href="https://www.familyhistoryexpos.com/shop/index/122/128">buy the paper dolls here</a>.<br />
<br />
I am working on another collection which will be available soon.<br />

1990s fashions borrowed a little bit of this and a little bit of that from the previous three decades. With elements of style from the 60s, 70s, and 80s, there is not a cohesive style that defines the 1990s. Instead, various fashions in many different styles were worn.<br />
<br />
Clara's dress this week is a simple jumper cut in an a-line silhouette. The style is a very flattering dress, with a calf-length, drapy skirt. The scoop neck of the jumper is echoed by the wide scoop neck of the t-shirt.<br />
<br />
Finally, Clara is wearing a pair of wedge-heeled slip-on shoes with some flower details. Wedge heels were very popular in the early 1990s.<br />
<br />
The original jumper was a navy blue color and the t-shirt was white. The shoes were tan.<br />

Today Clara has a cute, simple flowered 1950s dress with some bows and flowers. The skirt is a classic circle skirt – very popular in the 1950s – with a wide shape, decorated with some flowering vines. The bodice is a fitted shape with a slightly dropped waistline. The collar is a nice square shape, that was very popular in the 50s.<br />
<br />
Clara's shoes are Mary Janes – round toe shoes with a wide strap – very popular in the 1950s for young girls.<br />

John R. Neill illustrated 13 of the 14 Oz books written by L. Frank Baum. Neill's Art Deco style illustrations are beautiful, and romantic, with lots of drapy, floaty cloth and flowers, and other glitzy details.<br />
<br />
In the books, Glinda is portrayed in several different ways by Neill, but always in a long, drapey dress. She usually wears a helmet type of headdress with a narrow crown and some curvey hair nets.<br />
<br />
Clara's dress (on the left) is based on Glinda's costume in the book named after her, <a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/files/39868/39868-h/39868-h.htm">Glinda of Oz.</a> She has a long dress with yards of cloth, and a wide, pointy collar. A little scalloped trim decorates the bodice of the dress. The headdress is based on the way Neill usually portrayed Glinda.<br />
<br />
Once again (like Ozma's hair), apologies ahead of time for the hair and crown... they are not fun to cut out.<br />

I'm taking a break this week from the <a href="http://heritagepaperdolls.blogspot.com/search/label/Wizard%20of%20Oz">Wizard of Oz series</a> to post a special dress. This Saturday, October 26, is the third anniversary of Allison's death. We miss her so much. Actually all of October's posts were created ahead of time, since I don't like October much.</div>

This fashion plate has special meaning for me. The beautifully framed picture was a gift from a dear friend.<br />
<br />
The artwork is a hand-colored engraving from an 1883 copy of the <i>Journal des dames et des demoiselles</i>. The <i>Journal</i> was a Belgian fashion magazine published in French by Bruylant-Christophe et Compagnie.<br />
<br />
Clara’s dress is based on the little girl's blue dress from the fashion plate. The bustle had come back into fashion in 1881 after five years of being out of style, and remained fashionable through 1889. Dresses were made of heavy fabric, and highly decorated. Clara’s dress is actually
relatively plain, compared to some of the dresses of the era.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A simple crenellated, velvet decoration crosses the bodice and also appears at the
cuffs. Her dress has a stylish dropped waistline, with a wide, gathered, draped
waistband. Pleats were very popular in the 1880s, and Clara’s skirt is no
exception – wide pleats add detail and dimension to the short skirt.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The velvet hat is
decorated with lots of ribbons and tucks. It is hard to tell if the hat is a bonnet with a rolled-up brim, or a wide beret.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Clara’s
shoes are simple boots, worn with tall, thick stockings to cover the young
girl’s legs.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

Since Clara has already dressed up as <a href="http://heritagepaperdolls.blogspot.com/2013/10/clara-as-dorothy-in-oz.html">Dorothy in Oz</a> and <a href="http://heritagepaperdolls.blogspot.com/2013/10/clara-as-dorothy-in-emerald-city.html">Dorothy in the Emerald City</a>, this week she is dressed as Ozma.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For the latest costume in Clara's <i>Wizard of Oz</i> series, I based the dress on Ozma's costume in <i>The Emerald City of Oz</i>, by L. Frank Baum, which was illustrated by John R. Neill. After writing the original book, <i>The Wonderful Wizard of Oz</i>, Baum worked with the illustrator, Denslow, on producing a play based on the book. As the costume and set designer, Denslow was so difficult to work with that Baum refused to work with him ever again.</div>

This time, he used John R. Neill as the illustrator. Neill's illustrations are beautiful, romantic, and very much done in the Art Deco style popular at that time. Neill's distinctive illustrations appeared in the rest of Baum's Oz books.</div>
<br />
Ozma is portrayed in may different ways in the books, but always in a long, drapey dress. She usually wears an "Oz" diadem (a headband ornament) with big poppy flowers on the sides. Ozma also has a funny narrow crown that she wears as well.<br />
<br />
Apologies ahead of time for the hair and crown... they are not fun to cut out. I strongly suggest not trying to cut the spikes on the crown, but rather just cutting along the curve formed by the top of the points. Those little tabs at the shoulders are important to keep the hair from sliding down Clara's face.<br />

Last week, <a href="http://heritagepaperdolls.blogspot.com/2013/10/clara-as-dorothy-in-oz.html">Clara was dressed as Dorothy when she arrived in Oz</a> from Kansas via the tornado. The costume was based on W.W. Denslow's original book illustrations instead of the costumes from the 1939 musical film with Judy Garland. This week, Clara is wearing another of the original Denslow costumes that Dorothy wears to meet the (fake) wizard of Oz.</div>

Dorothy got a new outfit upon arriving in the Emerald City, with jingle bells on her collar and skirt. Notice that the Silver Slippers no longer have bows like they did <a href="http://heritagepaperdolls.blogspot.com/2013/10/clara-as-dorothy-in-oz.html">last week</a>! They must indeed be magical to change their appearance. She wears this dress to track down and melt the Wicked Witch, and deal with the flying monkeys.<br />

So Clara has another <i>Wizard of Oz</i> costume this week, this time a puffy dress with some cute jingle bells and an apron. The dress looks very much like a court jester's outfit. The magic slippers don't have bows this week, but her hair does...<br />

Many people are familiar with the 1939 musical film, <i>The Wizard of Oz</i>, starring Judy Garland as Dorothy. But how many have read the original book published in 1900 by L. Frank Baum? Like many books and movie adaptations, there are many differences between the screenplay and the original story.</div>

The original book was illustrated by an editorial cartoonist named William Wallace Denslow. He drew many very cute pictures of Dorothy, Toto, and all the characters.<br />

L. Frank Baum wrote many other novels about Oz, but Denslow only illustrated the first. The cover of this 1956 reprint (seen above with the big red poppy), was based on one of the original illustrations in the book.<br />

<span style="text-align: left;">This cute illustration (on left above) of Dorothy contemplating the scarecrow shows Dorothy in a cute gingham dress. Notice the bows on her magic shoes, which were actually silver slippers in the book, not ruby slippers. Costume designers thought that sparkly red shoes would look better in the new technicolor film that was used for the color portions of the <i>Wizard of Oz</i> film.</span><br />

The dress is a simple prairie dress with a wide yoke, plain sleeves, and no waistline. As you can see, Denslow was not consistent in how he drew Dorothy. Sometimes she wore a checked gingham, other times the dress was plain. Sometimes Dorothy had a bonnet on, as you can see in the illustration to the left. (The shoe bows are back!)<br />
<br />
Denslow's Dorothy always has loose braids. How did they ever stay braided without a tie of some sort?<br />
<br />
Clara is dressed as Dorothy today, with the gingham prairie dress, bonnet and braids, and the magic slippers (with bows). And Toto... Dorothy could not possibly go anywhere without Toto by her side.</div>

This week, Clara has some more pajamas. Last week, they were <a href="http://heritagepaperdolls.blogspot.com/2013/09/claras-1930s-pajamas.html">from the 1930s</a>, and this week, they're from the 1940s. Once again, the pajamas are two very different styles of nightwear — one is a lacy, ruffled nightdress, and the other is a practical, comfy pair of pajamas.<br />
<br />
Clara would be very comfortable in either of these 1940s
pajamas. The nightgown has a nice ruffled neckline trimmed with ribbon. The
high geometrical waistline adds a stylish touch, and the soft a-line gown would create a flattering silhouette.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The two-piece pajamas are for a colder evening with long,
blousy sleeves gathered loosely at the wrist. A sweetheart neckline was very
popular in the 40s. The loose pants would be comfortable instead of
restrictive.<o:p></o:p><br />

In the 1920s, lounge pajamas were quite fashionable as
beachwear, worn to cover a bathing suit. As the decade progressed, pajamas were
worn as day wear and even worn to parties.<br />
<br />
In the movie <i>Singin' in the Rain</i>, which was set in 1927, Lena Lamont is wearing gorgeous silky pink and black pajamas on the movie set when she meets Donald Lockwood. And in the fashion scene, the model wears some outrageous fur-trimmed turquoise and green pajamas "for lounging in your boudoir."<br />

By the 1930s, movie actresses had
made pajamas into a popular fashion choice for wearing day or night, worn as a casual alternative to dressing up.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Clara’s pajamas are quite stylish, and she could wear them for day or night. The pajamas have a short-sleeved
tunic top, tied with a soft silky bow, which was worn over soft, loose pants. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
If the pajamas are a bit too avant-garde, Clara also has a long nightgown with butterfly sleeves and a
high, curved waistline. Pinch pleats add a nice
stylish accent to the yoke, and some piping adds extra detail.</div>

Oscar de la Renta is credited with creating the popularity of the maxi dress in 1968, when the long skirt appeared in a fashion show he created for the Elizabeth Arden Studio. However, maxi dresses and skirts were available as early as 1965, when they appeared in the movie <i>Dr. Zhivago</i>.<br />
<br />
However, the long skirts took a while to catch on in the fashion world, so it took a few years for the style to be in vogue. Other fashion designers copied de la Renta, and by the early 70s, the maxi dress style was very popular. However, like any fashion fad, the long skirts were quickly dated and out of style by the end of the decade.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Clara’s dress has a simple shape created with wide bands of
elastic. Eyelet lace trims the hem. This would be a very comfortable dress to
wear, due to its loose form, and the elastic used. Comfortable, that is, at least as long as you didn't trip over the long skirt.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Clara’s shoes are simple pumps, worn with tall socks. Her
hair is in a simple, 70s style haircut.<br />

This week, we'll move up a decade to 1965. In reaction to the form fitting shapes, lace and ribbons, decorations, and wide skirts of the 50s, designers started a new style for fashion. London was the center of the new Mod (short for modernist) fashion movement.<br />
<br />
Mod fashion was characterized by clean, loose-fitting lines, and geometric shapes. Unique collars were also a characteristic of Mod fashion. Bright colors and
bold fabric patterns were quite fashionable.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Clara’s dress follows the Mod style with a fitted waist, a
scalloped collar, and a simple bow for decoration.<br />
<br />
Simple ballet flats were a
versatile choice for footwear.<br />
<br />
And finally, a very typical sixties-style
haircut finishes off Clara’s outfit.<o:p></o:p><br />

This week, Clara has another school outfit from the 1950s. With the same wide skirt shape as <a href="http://heritagepaperdolls.blogspot.com/2013/08/claras-1950s-jacket-and-skirt.html">last week's dress</a>, this skirt has some wide box pleats, a tall waistline, and a narrow belt for decoration. The sweater is a soft, form fitting shape with 3/4 length sleeves.<br />
<br />
With some of the popular penny loafers and tall socks, Clara is ready for a stylish day at school.<br />
<br />
The original sweater was yellow. The skirt was a dull orange with a shiny black belt. The penny loafers were dark brown leather, worn with white socks. The headband matched the yellow sweater.<br />

Finally! It's back to school for most of the country. If they are not already in school, most students will head back within two weeks. So to celebrate, here is a cute dress for Clara to wear on her first day of school for a new year.<br />
<br />
In the 1950s, fashion designs had bold, clean lines, and simple shapes. Clara’s
dress has a wide skirt in a style very typical of the dresses in the 50s. Think "poodle skirts"....<br />
<br />
A
cute jacket adds some flair to the outfit, with its straight lines and rounded
collar. Three simple round buttons are the only decoration on the jacket.<br />
<br />
Mary-Jane shoes were quite popular, and Clara’s are worn with ankle
socks.<br />
<br />
An finally, Clara has a cute 50s hairstyle with two ponytails tied with ribbon.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p><br />
The original dress was cherry red with pinstripes.<br />
