5.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous even if you have no idea what Chinese Opera is, June 7, 2008
By Born in a Library (California) - See all my reviews
  
I grew up in Chinatown LA. My parents dragged me to many Chinese operas. Even when I had no idea what they were singing, the beautiful costumes and makeup and spectacle were dazzling. This compendium is a wonderful introduction to the art form. I adore paper dolls in general, but Dover paper doll series also instructs. The art work and detail of the costumes are wonderful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Opera Custumes Paper Dolls, December 28, 2007
By B. Rackley "Sierras Creative World" (Over the Rainbow .. far away) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
I digitize for the embroidery world. This selected Chinese Opera Costumes of Paper Dolls, was just glorious. It gives details of the clothing, and it's ok to play with paper dolls, no matter what your age.
Very Nice book, Students of costumnes will appreciate this book, and younger children will have loads of fun.
