Designs of a Decade,
This review is from: Great Fashion Designs of the Fifties Paper Dolls: 30 Haute Couture Costumes by Dior, Balenciaga and Others (Dover Paper Dolls) (Paperback)
This is one of my favorite Tom Tierney paper doll books. The dolls look as if they've stepped straight from a 1950-s magazine, and the outfits are beautifully drawn. The detail is especially lovely on the lace gowns and the colors throughout are superb.
The outfits chosen for the book are a great summary of the wardrobe of an elegant, wealthy woman of the fifties. The only items which should have been included but weren't are bathing suits and draped evening dresses.

Paper Doll Perfection,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Great Fashion Designs of the Fifties Paper Dolls: 30 Haute Couture Costumes by Dior, Balenciaga and Others (Dover Paper Dolls) (Paperback)
I have loved the Tom Tierney books for some time. When I am directing a new play I use his books as reference materials quite often because the images are so easy to see, and really help me to find the right language when I start working with the costumer. This particular book, with its wider range of featured designers and very different looks, is especially nice. The only con, and it is a small one, is that the paper doll forms seem to be somewhat smaller than the forms in some of his other books. Still, an overall wonderful book!

PAPER DOLL PRETTY,
By Mini Marshmallow (Bergen County, NJ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Great Fashion Designs of the Fifties Paper Dolls: 30 Haute Couture Costumes by Dior, Balenciaga and Others (Dover Paper Dolls) (Paperback)
Such pretty, sophisticated fashion of the fifties. The dolls are much smaller and color is not as vibrant as the sixties, but that may be how they intended. Again, the dolls are very pretty faced and the fashions are GORGEOUSLY illustrated. I am so in awe with the illustrations, I tend to skip all the text on the front and back covers.
