A Must-Have for Doll People!
Eight featured dolls are beautifully photographed, and construction details of each of the eight dresses are so carefully drawn and explained that even average home sewers can use the patterns included to recreate truly authentic outfits. But even if you don't intend to sew, this is a thoroughly engaging look at the social history and times that created the wonderful fashion dolls of the late 1800s, and I predict that the terrific photos and accessory details will keep pulling you back until you almost feel that Babette, Yvonne, Nathalie and the five other dolls belong to you as well as to Mac Neil! A truly beguiling read!
