Description: This die-cut, boxed paper doll set, Black is Beautiful, features four girls with big brown eyes. One girl has an Afro; two have short curly hair, and one has straight short hair with bangs. Included are a red magic wand and three sheets of colorful separates (clothing, boots, shoes, jewelry, and other accessories) that reflect 1969 fashion styles.
