This review is from: Ginger Rogers Paper Dolls (Paperback)

I eagerly awaited this new paper doll book of my favorite movie star, Ginger Rogers. Her costumes were out of this world! Most paper doll books come with a page or two of the paper dolls themselves. In this case I assume you cut the dolls out of the covers, back and front, as there are no Gingers in the inside of the book. Ginger's most famous dress (I think) is the famed Feather Dress from the movie Top Hat. There is only a little sketch of it on the cover. I would have loved a larger version of it. Besides these things the rest of the paper doll book is wonderful with many of Gingers other costumes nicely done. There are little black and white photos of Ginger scattered throughout the book which are a nice touch and a biography of her on the inside back cover.
