Summary
A set of colour-printed paper costumes for paper dolls. The first sheet has the title 'Victorian Dress-up Dolls' and has an image of two children playing.

These sheets are entitled 'Seaside Sailor Suit', 'Little Gentleman's Wear', 'Work-A-Day Wear', 'Costume Of A Groom', 'Party Apparel' and 'Fair Weather Frock'. Total number of items is 8.
