Description: DOLL COSTUMES AND DRESSES – A Doll Home Library Series Volume Five by Marlowe Cooper, privately published, CO, 1970. Illustrated with approximately 41 black-and-white photographs, this early out-of-print book is a definitive guide to antique and vintage doll costumes and dresses. “From the fashion magazine of the 1890s, we have learned that making doll clothes was considered excellent training for a young girl for her own dressmaking tasks in later years. One wonders now if an advanced training program on sewing and designing might well be considered as a prerequisite for those who aim for perfection in this growing art of doll dressmaking. …The costumes shown here and the materials used coincide as closely as possible with the styles of the decades in which the doll was in production. No compromises have been made with modern synthetics.” There’s a wealth of information in the book for the collector, dealer or historian who is looking at period costume and dress. 8.5” x 11” softback in very good condition. 24 pages. Book is signed by author. FREE media mail shipping and handling for deliveries within the 50 United States. Rates vary for international mailings.
