French Designers,
This review is from: French Fashion Designers Paper Dolls: 1900-1950 (Dover Paper Dolls) (Paperback)
This book provides a glance at the work of some famous as well some largely forgotten French designers. It's wonderful of Tom Tierney to honor more obscure couturiers like Mad Carpentier, Cheruit, Drecoll, etc.
The costumes chosen trace the changes in fashion from 1900 to 1950. Some are absolutely divine, like the dresses by Doucet, Lelong, Dior and the pants and jacket by Rochas. Aesthetically, the plate with the dolls is too cramped and I've always preferred Tom Tierney's work when the figures are slightly smaller in scale ( eg "Great Fashion Designs of the Fifties Paper Dolls"). I look forward to the next installment (ie 1950 to 2000).

This review is from: French Fashion Designers Paper Dolls: 1900-1950 (Dover Paper Dolls) (Paperback)
My 62 year old mother was visiting and we got to chatting about when she was a kid--she brought up how she loved paper dolls as a little girl and joked that she still would play with them if she had them. My sister and I got a good laugh out it and decided to send her these in the mail the next day. I have to say, they are so sweet and while my mom got a kick out them, I kind of wanted to play with them. Nice quality and the graphics were pretty and very crisp.

PAPER DOLL LOVERS.....,

This review is from: French Fashion Designers Paper Dolls: 1900-1950 (Dover Paper Dolls) (Paperback)
Grown-up, little girls, can relive their childhood now, because paperdolls are again available. For many years they seemed to be obselete or, at best, very hard to find. These paperdolls are a little more sophisticated, and much more expensive, but they're very nice.
