I love these paper dolls. The time period was very ornate at the time which called for some very ornate dresses. Red was a very fashionable color too. These paper dolls are great for kids and a great addition to paper doll collections. Also, look at some of Tom Tierneys other paper doll publishings which were just as good as these.

I purchased several of Tom Tierney's historical paper doll sets to augment my family history projects. I have 150 years of family photos which are mostly in black and white, of course, so it's great to see the period clothing in detail and in color. The paper dolls will add so much to my research and my family's appreciation of the historical times and stories. Although I intend to keep the paper dolls uncut, they are printed on card stock which would be easy to cut and not tear apart if well-cared for.

I cannot rave enough about this book. It is absolutely perfect for my writing research based on characters in 1876 America. I have had a very difficult time finding examples of dresses from that time period for the full-figured woman for one of my main characters. I was so pleased to see a full-figure doll and outfits in this book. It has far-exceeded my hopes! Thank you for a fabulous find!
