Welcome!
I am short on time today, but have found these super
summer-themed
paper doll set, courtesy of OrigamiBears.
If you are into history, or free paper dolls,
or really cheap original paper dolls,
is the place to check out!

With regards to what you can do with these free paper dolls:
Many are still under copyright, and NOT public domain.

That means you can print them to your heart's content,
but you CANNOT:
Sell them, in any way
re-package them for sale
change the colors and re-sell
...get the idea?

You can certainly print a set and give as a gift.
You can take the base paper dolls,
and make your own clothes from lots of fun paper sources.
You can sell these hand-designed clothes,
but not the base paper dolls, as is.

You CAN print them,
and cut them all up and re-make recycled paper doll collages.
For instance,
you could use the legs and then add your own creativity.
You could probably use the heads,
 but no bodies in the same creation.

Best rule of thumb:
Use these wonderful paper dolls to play with,
design your own clothes,
play sets and backgrounds.

Use the basic doll shapes to help you make your own.
I use paper doll bases to get the hang of where arms fit on a torso,
or where earrings fit on a face...that sort of thing.
These you can package and sell if you choose,
as it is all your own drawing, etc.
