Alice 'Starlet' Paper Doll

Here we have an unusual Alice paper doll set, part of a set of 4 from 1960 called Starlets, featuring Cinderella, Annette, Snow White, and of course Alice. I guess Alice was supposed to be the kid sister of the group, like Skipper was to Barbie. Why they didn't include Sleeping Beauty instead of Alice is a mystery, but there it is.

Alice looks quite fetching in her blue one piece with matching blue hair ribbon (what happened to her black one?). And I must say the high-heeled Mary Janes are very stylish indeed. I've always thought that Alice as rendered here resembled Bridget Fonda...

Alice came with a dizzying array of *ahem* stylish outfits, some with matching hats!

Wow, I most surprised to see Annette mixed in with this group. Were the girls able to swap outfits, or were their poses too different?
