My book find of the week is "What Dolls Wore Before" by Florence Theriault. She covers the years 1850-1925 in this volume of luscious real photos of doll costumes. For those of you who have children for whom you do h-costume, this book provides designs and fabric and trim that has been difficult to pin down (well, so to speak,) before. Many of the dolls clothes were also what children were wearing in this period.
Next to the Kyoto volume that sparked our imaginations, this book will certainly sit in ready reach for ideas on how to do a more credible rendering.
