This review is from: Italian Renaissance Costumes Paper Dolls (History of Costume) (Paperback)

I always enjoy looking at Tom Tierney's interpretation of costumes of different eras. He gets all the lines right, finding the elements of a time period and rendering the dolls and costumes in brilliant colors. I frequently use his books for reference when making doll costumes.
