Step-by-step descriptions accompany each outfit. There are also instructions for making all the accessories for each of the characters, including hats and shoes and a full set of underwear.

Got this book only a short while ago so I've not many of the garments yet, but plan on making quite a few of them. The outfits are somewhat different from the usual doll clothes books. There are outfits for gentlemen dolls which is quite unusual I find. The book is very well laid out with sections for underwear, shoes and hats etc, as well as the gowns.I particularly like the Anne of Green Gables and her friend Diana chapter.This book is actually much better than I thought it would be, and I'm very glad I bought it!

I was a little disappointed
10 Feb 2009
Format:Paperback
I purchased 3 doll clothes books at the same time and was least impressed with this one. On the plus side it has some nice outfits for storybook characters, including their undies, which I liked. The instructions are good. On the down side, it has relatively few items for the amount spent, the clothes aren't as charming as those I found in the other books, patterns must be traced and contructed. I just don't feel like I will get much mileage out of it for the price asked. If you don't have to pay full price this is worth having.

I love to dress dolls from the skin out. The Doll's Clothes Story Book Collection does just that. The undergarments fit the time period of the outerwear. Accessories, shoes, hats, etc. are included. I love the history given with the fashions. I've read this book several times. Patterns are included. Patterns also given for boy dolls. Excellent resource.
