How to make a Mod ragdoll!,
By Dorothy T. McElrath "poet, momma, dollmaker, ... (Southern California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Making and dressing a rag doll (Hardcover)
This is a smallish book, focusing on one particular kind of long-legged rag doll. Several variations of hairstyle and facial features are shown. The book was published in 1972, and the doll does have an early-70's look, with her large eyes fringed with Twiggy-style eyelashes. The "modern-day" outfits are charmingly "mod," too--mini dresses with daisy trim, a maxi skirt and peasant blouse topped with a maxi-length sleeveless vest ("waistcoat," if you're British).
There are several period costumes too--an Edwardian blouse to go with the long skirt, a long Romantic ballet tutu, a Regency-style dress (think "Sense and Sensibility)...The patterns are half-sized, shown on a grid, and step-by-step instructions are given, with clear illustrations. Each outfit is shown in a clear line drawing, and each drawing features a different hairstyle and face. I like the variety of historical costumes; even if I don't make the doll using the pattern given, I can adapt the outfits to the dolls we have at our house. I like books I can learn from. And I love the doll, with her fabulous eyelashes! |
