Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Now that one of Barbie's fancier outfits could cost the equivalent of half a mortgage payment, it's time to emulate Casey and--glue? Yes, hot or cold, adhesive works wonders on homemade doll clothes, eliminating virtually all wear and tear on the sewing machine. Instead, rummage and remnants, and worn-outs and outdateds, all become the materials for luxury gowns and skimpy rompers. Every one of the 65 items, from boots to hats, is illustrated in full color, and further documented by a few words about the proper places to snip and cement. A one-trick pony with infinite adaptations. Barbara Jacobs

3.0 out of 5 stars NO SEWING NEEDED AND THE CLOTHES LOOK IT., April 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Fabulous Fashion Doll Clothing You Can Make (Paperback)

OUTFITS ARE CUT AND GLUED FROM FOUND OBJECTS LIKE SOCKS AND SWEATERS. THESE MAY BE GOOD CLOTHES TO MAKE FOR BEGINNERS OR KIDS DRESSING DOLLS FOR THE FIRST TIME, BUT THE TITLE IS DECEPTIVE FOR PROFESSIONAL SEWERS LIKE ME. IF YOU'VE NEVER SEWED, BUT WANT TO DRESS YOUR CHILD'S FASHION DOLL, THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wildly imaginative designer clothes, April 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Fabulous Fashion Doll Clothing You Can Make (Paperback)

Tina's newest book is filled with wildly imaginative and artistic clothes that really could be prototypes for dress designs for the stars, and no sewing is required! Each dress is startlingly unique and comes with its own hilarious quote from a movie. The accompanying text is so funny that I was soon rolling with laughter. The sheer volume of creativity in this book is intoxicating!

1.0 out of 5 stars Big Disappointment, March 30, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Fabulous Fashion Doll Clothing You Can Make (Paperback)

My granddaughter has dozens of Barbie dolls and I wanted to learn how to make clothes for them. I wanted to make outfits I could be proud of but when I got this book through one of my craft clubs, I was so disappointed. What I saw in this book looked cheap and I decided very quickly not to waste my time.
