This is the latest book in the series of cloth doll that concentrates, as its title suggests, on making doll’s clothes.
Here is style, fashion, evening dress, going away outfits, ballroom dresses, 1930s and a 1940s suit, outfits of the black and white film era, and patterns from vintage McCall’s. It didn’t gel with the mystery, magic and glitz of the first two superb books. However, there are a few quirky pieces to add to the collection.
