Fashions of the Sixties,
This review is from: Great Fashion Designs of the Sixties Paper Dolls: 32 Haute Couture Costumes by Courreges, Balmain, Saint-Laurent and Others (Dover Paper Dolls) (Paperback)
This is an interesting review of the fashions of the sixties. The designs are beautifully drawn and the colors are vivid.
While I like the book, I don't think the costumes selected truly reflect the mood of the decade. There are too many "doll-like" outfits ( ruffles, flowers, etc), and not enough focus on the revolutionary changes in fashion during the period. The last plate representing the end of the decade does not give the sense of the ethnic influence on the late sixties which followed on to the seventies. The dolls themselves are gorgeous, with one looking like an East Coast sophisticate while the other looks like a Californian beach baby.

Cool paper dolls!,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Great Fashion Designs of the Sixties Paper Dolls: 32 Haute Couture Costumes by Courreges, Balmain, Saint-Laurent and Others (Dover Paper Dolls) (Paperback)
I bought this for my 7 year old granddaughter but her mother loved it so much she wouldn't let her cut out the dolls or dresses. The fashions are fab and the dolls even more so!
So, for now, my granddaughter is enjoying looking at the dolls and her mom is enjoying them even more. I wouldn't suggest buying this for a small child as it a very nice paperdoll book and it is a little tricky to cut out (lots of details). But for adults and older kids it is great.

QUALITY PRODUCT AND ILLUSTRATIONS,
By Mini Marshmallow (Bergen County, NJ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Great Fashion Designs of the Sixties Paper Dolls: 32 Haute Couture Costumes by Courreges, Balmain, Saint-Laurent and Others (Dover Paper Dolls) (Paperback)
I was a huge paper doll fan when I was young and this one is excellent-quality paper, big, colorful illustrations, pretty paperdolls. I was born in the 60's, so I was curious and some were a bit outlandish, but they're high fashion and at least it gave me a glimpse of the looks of those times. This is one of the better paper dolls because the dolls and fashions are bigger and of better color saturation.
