This review is from: Easy-to-Make Dolls with Nineteenth-Century Costumes (Dover Needlework) (Paperback)

I LOVE the author's Easy to Make Godeys Doll book. It gives one pattern for a body, plus all the patterns needed to make a complete mid-nineteenth century wardrobe. GREAT! That gives the doll-maker the option of making several different dolls, different fabrics, different faces, different hair. THIS one, on the other hand, gives several different patterns for bodies, each with one costume pattern. NON-interchangeable. Result: You cannot make a full wardrobe for any one doll. Only several dolls, each with ONE outfit. I would rather have seen fewer body patterns, and more interchangeability in the costume patterns.

This is another one of the easy-to-make series books, and it is just as good as the others. The patterns are easy to follow, and are good jumping off points for other dolls.
