These were the dolls and historical costumes I started with about 30 years
ago.? I still consider Worrell to be an adequate source to begin with...Her
pattern shapes, as a matter of fact, were a springboard to Historical Costume
for me before all the wonderful Resources we now have. She manages to produce
the right shape and drape but in a more simplified version than is acceptable
for the purists among us.?

Subject: Re: [h-cost] historical costume in miniatureI have The Doll Book by
Estelle Ansley Worrell. It covers costumes from the 17th century to the late
19th century. The patterns are designed to fit 1/6 scale fashion dolls/Barbie
dolls (female, male and child sized). She also includes patterns to make cloth
dolls the size of Barbie dolls. It is out of print; I got it off Ebay, Amazon
or half.com, I'm not sure which. IIRC, it was about $10.
