Review
"If you tempted to enter the alternative world of fashion doll makeovers, this book could be the one to get you started..." -- Galatea Magazine, Spring 2003.
From the Author
Hello! My name is Sabrina Guidice and I'm the author of Creating Fashion Dolls. I would like to take a moment to thank everyone who has purchased a copy of my book and to encourage beginner artists of all ages to use this book as a guide to creating wonderful fashion dolls. I appreciate every review - but would just like to clarify a couple of things. The doll that was used as the model and on the cover is beautiful and does NOT have genitalia. She has a molded white panty and nothing is viewable and she is just not molded "that way". Also, the entire costume is hand sewn and made completely of material. There is no "ribbon" for the bodice. The book is meant for beginners but advanced users can always use more ideas, after all - in art and creating you never know where your next idea will come from! Thank you all:)

Perfect for Anyone Afraid of Repainting a Face,
By
This review is from: Creating Fashion Dolls: A Step-By-Step Guide to One-Of-A-Kind Dolls (Paperback)
This book is meant to be a springboard for your own creations. Ms Guidice shows you how to "enhance" the face the doll came with rather than totally wiping the face and repainting it. (The idea of repainting a doll's face scares me something awful.)You will learn how to give a fashion doll a "perm", enhance the makeup, and generally glitz up the doll's face and hair. She shows you how to create the costume on the front of the book and then opens her gallery of dolls to see what she has done with this "basic" beginning. I'd recommend that anyone considering trying fashion doll makeovers to start with this book. It won't overwhelm you with so much information that you lose your vision or (in my case) nerve!

Information I never knew,
By "hombregirl" (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Creating Fashion Dolls: A Step-By-Step Guide to One-Of-A-Kind Dolls (Paperback)
The new book by Sabrina Giudice, "Creating Fashion Dolls", is the most informative start to finish explanation for OOAK designers in the industry. If you are a beginner or a seasoned professional there is much to learn here. Her descriptions of fixing hair and perms were easy to understand. Information on repaints and paints to use, right down to brush size, and use of appropriate blush is extremely useful. Also, if you hand sew or machine stitch your own designs, she gives you examples of looking at fashion in a new light. This is a MUST for serious doll designers and ones thinking they would like to attempt this type of art. Highly recommended.

Bombed Blonde,

This review is from: Creating Fashion Dolls: A Step-By-Step Guide to One-Of-A-Kind Dolls (Paperback)
Had I been able to see really look through this book before purchasing, I would not have spent my money. I believe even beginners would appreciate more in depth coverage on costuming than what was provided.The only "hand sewn" items were the panties and the strap around the neck, both with raw edges. The rest of the items were purchased and glued. I have found better information on both costuming and makeup on internet sites. Needless to say, I found this book disappointing.
