Accurate history & patterns for both French doll fancier & good seamstress
This gets 5 stars because I wanted the historical details about French Fashion Dolls, and I can sew. However, the directions to use the patterns are essay style (these are NOT Simplicity run-it-up-in-an-afternoon patterns!) and not always the easiest to follow; the patterns are historically correct so there's a lot of items we do not do today (e.g. dust ruffles on skirts); for best finish there needs to be a lot of hand sewing (especially if you don't have a ruffler for the pleats); using historically accurate fabrics is costly (e.g. silk in my area has doubled in price; buying historically accurate brooches, pins etc. also gets costly. Having said that, the results are stunning; the patterns are adaptable (the 5 can be used to make more e.g. jacket from one with skirt from another, swap trims, etc.); polyester laces and chiffons and other modern fabrics work well; the patterns have more fussy detail than, say, the Susan Sirkis Wish Booklets, but they are about the same difficulty as equivalent costumes. If you want the same results for less money, try Googling pictures of Gildebrief doll fashions, and adapting patterns/pattern pieces from Venus Dodge (a 6-star book) I've done that, too, and the results can be equally stunning.Read full review

Great Book for Doll Costumers & French Fashion Doll Collectors
If you costume French Fashion dolls, this is an incredible book to have in your library (especially if you can get it used, as I did.) There are a few negatives. I am not fond of the way the book is arranged; it's a little confusing with the garment information interspersed with information about places in Paris and cultural information. I would also NOT recommend this book for a beginning seamstress; some of the instructions are rather general in nature. I think you really need to know what you're doing. Other than that, the photos and garments shown (mostly 1870s, maybe an 1880s) are VERY nice. I have several books of this kind and I think this one has more authentic patterns for this time-period than any of my other books (As an aside, the book "A French Fashion Doll's Wardrobe" is really more 1860s, and "Victorian Doll Clothes" is more general, offering styles for everything from early paper maches and china-heads to the ball-jointed lady dolls of the 1900s/1910s.) I'm really enjoying the book and have already modified one of the patterns to make an outfit for a 16" French Fashion. Again, this is a VERY good book for someone wanting to costume a French Fashion from this time period, or just for the person who appreciates the beauty of the old fashion dolls.Read full review

Paris Collection French Doll Fashions & Accessories (20
I am so glad I bought myself this book! It mixes French and Victorian history to explain the explosion of fashion during that time period. Incorporated into the center of these fashions, the artfully created and wonderfully accessorized fashion doll is described and photographed. I was a little disappointed that the only fashions that are reviewed and provided for in pattern form are the dresses on the five dolls this book describes so well. I also think it would have been helpful to have had a step-by-step approach given for creating these beautiful dresses. Even as an experienced seamstress, I am sure that I will struggle with some of the tucks and linings. Still, it is a lovely resource and I will spend many hours perusing the pages...

Excellent book, much useful information
I bought this book to learn more about French doll fashions and for the patterns included. It is an excellent book with just the information I needed. The patterns are very nice with easy to follow directions and will be quite useful in creating clothing for antique dolls. I am well pleased with the book.
