Paper dolls of a youthful Queen Victoria and Empress Eugenie and paper doll fashions illustrate the changes in women's clothing and costume which occurred during the Victorian era (i.e., 1837 - 1901). During Victoria's early reign, Romantic fashions were prim and sedate, but by the end of her reign, they had become increasingly ornate.
