DESCRIPTION:
M. Rose said Good buy. Really beautiful pictures and heavy paper. I'm happy with this!. Prairie Girl said PAPER DOLL LOVERS. Grown-up, little girls, can relive their childhood now, because paperdolls are again available. For many years they seemed to be obselete or, at best, very hard to find. These paperdolls are a little more sophisticated, and much more expensive, but they're very nice.. Happy/Unhappy Customer said Beautiful dresses.. My daugher Beautiful dresses. My daugher 30 and granddaughter 5 loved this book. The dresses were on heavyweight paper. They were hard to cut out for a youngster and cutting out the face area was really trying, but we all had fun just looking at the dresses and picking out our favorites from each page. We actually ended up only cutting out a few outfits, which was fine for us. As for the seller, the items shipped extremely fast and arrived just when they were needed in perfect condition.. 0 and granddaughter 5 loved this book. The dresses were on heavyweight paper.

French fashions reigned supreme during the first half of the twentieth century — from ostentatious gowns featuring the hourglass look by Callot Soeurs, to feminine evening dresses of the fifties by Jacques Fath. In between came the "boyish" tubular look of the twenties; suits and dresses that were wide at the shoulders and slim at the hips during the thirties, and a "New Look" dependent on the lavish use of fabric during the forties.Tom Tierney's carefully researched and expertly rendered collection featuring 50 years of French high fashion includes three dolls modeling haut couture apparel by Schiaparelli, Paquin, Poiret, Lanvin, Patou, Worth, Lelong, Chanel, Grés, Ricci, Balenciaga, Dior, and 18 other fashion giants. Descriptive notes accompany a costume extravaganza that will delight paper doll fans, collectors, and fashion designers alike. Three dolls and 32 full-color costumes.
