This is a book with an astounding array of outfits to sew for dolls. It includes dress-up outfits, historical outfits, every day outfits, Halloween costumes, and more. There are also a directions on how to perform a wide variety of functions, but for some of the outfits (such as those that require smocking, knitting etc.), basic knowledge or another resource would be useful. Nonetheless, if you wanted to get just one book to make a wardrobe for your 18 inch doll, this would be an excellent choice. ( )
