Paper Dolls by Lisa Perrin.
Mom got one and I couldn’t resist … I had to have my own paper doll as well. So, artist and paper doll creator Lisa Perrin made the Moya paper doll.
Keeping with the custom-made theme, I had Lisa illustrate my custom-made shirtwaist dress and 1920-inspired coat. Accessories include my go-to black beret and favorite 1940s handbag, which has a twisted Lucite handle.
I asked Lisa to add my beloved Mr. Pru, whom, sadly, passed away last August at the sweet old age of 18. She really captured his spirit and even his specific haughty pose, which always made me smile and now continues to do so.
The original is in a frame, but I made copies and yes I fully intend to cut and play. What fun!

That is awesome on so many levels….
Adorable, wow I haven’t had any of those since I was a kid, nostalgic!
Hello Dapperdolly, Thanks for reading Over Dressed for Life. The paper dolls are so much fun. I highly recommend everyone get one of their own!
I love this, Moya. It is such a great likeness and how sweet to add Mr. Pru.
Thanks, Suzette. I had to include Mr. Pru … it’s kind of my tribute to him (one of many, actually.)
I love this idea! They are so well done. Love the kitty…I would have to get my kitties included too.

Hello Hilda – Paper dolls are such fun! I learned to love them from my mom. And to have one that is you? Well, how perfect is that? I plan to use mine in fashion collages I create. Thanks for reading.
