One of my large size paper doll sheets. Could be from a convention, a Paula Hill party or a flea market find...The colors are wonderfully vivid. Circa 1940s or 1950s? Your guess is as good as mine (although I bet someone out there knows exactly!)
Women in the Valais dressed like that as late as the 1960s. (top left) You can see photos of the young women in mini skirts and their mothers and grannies still wearing the special dresses worn for centuries in their valley. Each valley in the Valais ( which means “valley”) has a subtly different costume.
