This is an excellent book that my 12 year old daughter, and ALL her friends have truly enjoyed. The book comes with stencils for outfits. It also comes with patterned paper to use for the outfits. It has a great selection of paper. The paper is similar to scrapbook paper but seems specially designed for the small outfits as the patterns on the paper go well with small outfits. Finally, it has some wire hangers - sized to fit the outfits. The girls have had hours of fun with this book. My daughter glues all the outfits into a notebook, and the friend who designed it "signs" the page. My only wish is that there was an address or phone number where you could order additional paper packs. While Klutz is generous when they give you the paper, my kids are using it a LOT! Her 8 year old sister enjoys it too. It is suitable for any age that is very good with scissors. The outfits are quite small. I plan to purchase some of these to use as birthday gifts to have on hand. This is one of the best activity books we've purchased.

I bought this book as a activity to share with my neice who is 8. We both loved it. The book is full of inspiration and helpful tips like how to use your finished creations and also how to use scissors more accurately and how to glue without making a mess. The papers and accents they supply are really nice and the fashion stencils are perfectly engineered. It comes with everything you need except the scissors. I enjoyed it so much that I bought another copy for myself and for some of my crafty friends who love fashion. I really think this is a great craft book and I've recommended it to many friends. The Klutz products are always clever but this one is really special.

My 11 year old daughter received this as a birthday gift in August and hasn't stopped playing with it. She loves combining different prints and styles and creating the latest fashions. She has strung a "clothesline" along the top of her bulletin board and hangs her creations on the miniature hangers which come with this set. Her 13 year old sister also enjoys this item (although she doesn't like to admit it!)
