5.0 out of 5 stars
Educational entertainment,
By Terrier Girl "Ally" (North Adams, MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fashions of the Gilded Age Paper Dolls (Paperback)
Tom Tierney does it again with these attractive dolls and costumes. I find his designs invaluable in my never-ending search for costume ideas for my fictional characters. One can read about costume design, but seeing it in practice offers far more.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Gilded Age,
This review is from: Fashions of the Gilded Age Paper Dolls (Paperback)
The glory of the "gilded age" (ie the turn of the 20th century) is celebrated by Tom Tierney in this lovely collection of paper dolls. Alva Vanderbilt's "Venetian Princess" costume is featured as well as Mrs Gould's pearl encrusted gown worn with her legendary pearl necklace. One of the dolls looks like the gorgeous Consuelo Vanderbilt and one of her costumes is the court gown and mantle she wore to Edward VII's coronation. The ladies are accompanied by several figures of gentlemen of the era.
I didn't give this book the full 5 stars because I thought that some of the outfits didn't really belong in the selection (eg Anna held's stage costume as well as some of the evening dresses). Also, some of the gowns didn't seem authentic (eg the Art Nouveau). It would have been better to limit the selection of costumes to those worn in portraits of the leaders of society at the time.
