Yvonne Peggy Patty Lou Yvonne
In 1936 Whitman Publishing Co. published a set of paper dolls portraying the Dionne Quintuplets whose birth in Canada had astonished the world when they were born in 1934. These little dollies and their adorable 1930's style clothes were drawn by the artist Avis Mac.
In 1937 Dell Publishing used the same clothes drawn by Avis Mac, had the dolls redrawn, and published a paper doll book of Five Dionne Quintuplets.
In 1939 Whitman Publishing had the dollies redrawn and used the clothing art work of Avis Mac to publish new paper doll books under the titles of Margie, Dotty, Patsy, Peggy, and Bunny.
1941 brought a new set of dollies from Whitman Publishing named Betty Sue, Sally Ann, Mary Lee, Patty Lou and Mary Jane with the same set of clothes drawn by Avis Mac for the original Dionne quintuplet dolls of 1936. I haven't discovered a 5th set, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist!
Here are the clothes shared by Yvonne, Peggy, Patty Lou and Yvonne:

Here are the clothes shared by Yvonne, Peggy, Patty Lou and Yvonne:
A neat green slicker and galoshes to splash thru puddles
and a sailor dress to wear to the park
dress up these dollies nicely.
A party dress and a warm outfit to wear to nursery school makes Yvonne
...and Peggy and Patty Lou and Yvonne happy little girls!
Four little sweethearts ready for almost anything!
These 4 little girls can be warmly bundled up for cold weather.
A play suit with jump rope mean fun outdoors,
and a sporty dress, coat and hat for an outing
with mom and dad mean fun for Yvonne.
A suitcase, labeled with their names, to cut out, fold and construct
was on the back cover of the dollies named
Betty Sue, Sally Ann, Mary Lee, Patty Lou and Mary Jane.
And here are the individual sets of dollies
that shared the lovely clothes drawn by Avis Mac:
