Product Description
Synopsis
Although King Edward VII's reign lasted only from 1901 to 1910, the Edwardian period in fashion actually began about 1880, when Victorian influence waned and Edward, Prince of Wales, and his wife, Alexandra, became world fashion leaders. Taking its cue from the royal couple, Edwardian fashion came to mean formality and opulence, and wearing the "correct" clothes on all occasions. Tom Tierney captures the extravagance and luxury of the period in this methodically researched and faithfully executed paper doll collection. Two aristocratic figures are accompanied by splendid wardrobes that include a tuxedo, walking suit, motoring costume, yachting outfit, and a Prince Albert coat for the gentleman, and a beaded, fur-trimmed evening gown, high-necked visiting dress, walking suit, promenade dress, satin dinner gown, and more for the lady. Top hats, straw hats, derbies, and other accessories complete a collection that will thrill costume histonans and designers as much as it will entertain paper doll fans.

Plauged by a lack of variety and flimsy paper
4 Mar 2002
Format:Paperback
Although wonderfully drawn and researched, This set of costume paper dolls is not as well-done as most Tom Tierney paper dolls. There is only one set of costumes for every 4 years, which leaves huge gaps in the fashion trends of the era. The paper used is not the usual sturdy posterboard-like material but more like glossy paper, which would not hold up to wear and tear. If you are going to buy these for costume research reasons, I would recommend "La Mode Illustree" for a lot more variety and scope. If you want to use these as paper dolls, I would not recommend these. I cannot imagine them lasting more than 1 or 2 uses.
