Linda High Fashion Paper Doll
UPDATE: Thank you Rachel of PaperThinPersonas for identifying her as Linda Belcher from Bob's Burgers!
(And check out that link, Rachel has some wonderful paper dolls and creativity prompts.)
This was pinned on Pinterest, would love to know more about it. I think this is a character from Bob's Burgers or Family Guy.

A handmade paper doll by Margaret Menamin
One of the beautiful things about paper doll collecting is the friendships that are formed.
The friendship between Margaret Menamin and Carol Carey was a thing to behold. They delighted in each other's company and creativity.
This is a paper doll that Margaret made as a birthday gift for Carol in 1996. Margaret died after a short illness in 2009; you can read more about her here.

Mopsy inspired, 1939
This is from a 1939 catalog of patterns "For Women Who Sew," that was distributed by Rocky Mountain News. It was published by Today's Pattern Bureau out of Chicago. It's just one page; the other illustrations don't resemble Mopsy, and there are also photographs of movie stars wearing clothing similar to one you can make from these patterns.
I don't think Gladys Parker drew these outfits, but I could be wrong...perhaps these are Parker's own designs?
