A swoon-worthy wardrobe for under $100? I must be dreaming! Well, I am — dreaming of these vintage paper doll wardrobes, that is! This spread from 1967 might just be genius, combining the novelty of paper dolls with the real-world practicality of an affordable wardrobe. Each set is perfectly coordinated, with pieces to take the wearer to the beach, the boardwalk, and everywhere in between. It’s safe to say I would readily wear these ensembles today. Yes, even that floral jumpsuit above. Because everyone needs a jumpsuit — or five.

About Julie O.

A lover of all things vintage and vintage-inspired, Julie bought her first 1950’s frock in the fifth grade. Since then, Julie has become a self-described connoisseur of vintage and thrift shopping, which she shares on her blog, Orchid Grey. When she’s not scouring the racks for the perfect vintage skirt, this native New Englander can be found deftly navigating the slopes of a ski mountain, taking road-trips to the beach, and exploring new places with a vintage camera in her hand.
