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.
