Basically basic,
This review is from: Creating Fashion Dolls: Step-by-step Guide to One-of-a-kind Dolls (Paperback)
This book is probably a good buy for anyone interested in starting making their own one of a kind doll creations. It offers simple clear advice on how to remove and apply paint, which products to use as well as general tips and pointers which may come in handy. It is fullt illusrated with photos to match the easy to follow step by step instructions. However, for those seeking greater inspiration this may not be the best book. It shows only one make over and misses out on other important factors such as hair colouring and rerooting. It also gives little to no advice on how to create clothing for your doll which would have been useful unless you're looking specifically to make a show-girl. I'd recommend it for beginners seeking the most basic information. Those people who are more experienced/adventurous may find it a disappointing buy. Not for those with a lot of imagination

This review is from: Creating Fashion Dolls: Step-by-step Guide to One-of-a-kind Dolls (Paperback)
if you`d like to try restyling fashion dolls, but arent sure where to start, this book is for you!clearly detailed step by step guidance with photos at each step,show how to restore and restyle hair, enhance face make-up,and create a "showgirl" costume for a barbie size doll.lots of clear pictures,no expensive paraphenalia,no pattern making!! there is a chapter about co-ordinating colours for effect, and author Sabrina Guidice even shows how to make a box for your finished creation. the only down side is that the showgirl is the only costume made, but the author gives you the confidence to adapt and turn her ideas into unique styles of your own,with lots of pictures of the authors own ooak dolls for inspiration.

Fashion Doll, perhaps not.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Creating Fashion Dolls: Step-by-step Guide to One-of-a-kind Dolls (Paperback)
As someone who has experience of fashion dolls and creating them I found this book to be poor. The information is flimsey and at times boring!. The photography is amatureish and pages are wasted with duplicate images. The book concentrates on making over only one doll into a showgirl effect doll but I think it would have been better value if it contained more than one makeover. The last chapter does show examples of finished dolls and many look like drag queens. This is not a book for a serious makeover job. I am putting mine in the bin
