This review is from: American Family of the Federal Period Paper Dolls (Dover Paper Dolls) (Paperback)
Tom Tinerney has written and drawn dozens of excellent books meant to educate children about what people of the past wore for various occasions. This book is wonderful for those interested in the fashions of Federal America. It has fashions for every age tier, showing how a conservative older man's dress may differ from that of his adult son. It also shows the dilution of American fashions from European; even though they mirrored them, they lacked some of the extravagant wares. Apart from that, it shows what your average family would wear, rather than that of the aristocracy or the very well off. The family featured is prosperous, but not rich. Finally, the back pages have wonderful, accurate descriptions of all the fashions, why/where they originated, and descriptions of fabric, embellishments, accessories, and so on. This book is good for kids; great for fashion historians and re-creationists.

Wonderful and Accurate Paper Dolls,
This review is from: American Family of the Federal Period Paper Dolls (Dover Paper Dolls) (Paperback)
This comes with three generations of a paper doll family: the grandparents, parents (with two single siblings) and three children. There are four outfits for every doll: daily work, more dressy, formal, and their best clothes. The outfits are similar to clothes you would see in Jane Austin type movies, but they are a little different since the Federalist time period pertains to America.
