5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST book on sewing doll clothes on the market!, 26 Jul 1999
By A Customer
The book is a must-have for anyone wanting to sew reproduction clothing for dolls.  This book includes wonderful color plates of the antique dolls chosen for the study.   You can clearly see every detail of the wardrobe.   There are many underwear items included : corsets, hoops, bustles, etc.   There is a large detailed explaination of each dress, listed by the color plate.   Then, there is a large section which not only tells you how to sew a duplicate of the original, but which includes much useful information about the period of time the dress represents.  Finally, there is a wonderful bibliography and an excellent section on how to hand sew the items, carefully detailing descriptions of each stitch used.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful book of Victorian doll clothes to sew or admire., 6 Sep 1998
By A Customer
Ms. Hamilton's Victorian Doll Clothes is a wonderful historical book of costumes for dolls. There are interesting facts about the people who preserved the garments, and indepth descriptions of the construction of the clothes. There are 16 patterns, starting with a simple but beautiful early Victorian dress and continuing to the more complex. These are not for the faint of heart or an amature. If you have some experience, it is well worth the effort. If you don't, The instructions are thorough enough to give it a go.
