Ladies of social standing would have fashionably dressed dolls gracing their boudoirs or as ornaments in their drawing rooms - surprisingly the idea caught on.

These dolls were posed on sofas and chairs, draped on beds and carried as mascots at balls, dances and social events.

Dolls were not played with.

By the mid 1920s, all smart women had to have a ‘poupee’ doll and they were seen everywhere.

The wealthy even took them when they went motoring

or for a flip in that new mode of transport - the aeroplane.
