With over 100 Dover paper doll books to his credit, artist Tom Tierney continues to delight fans of all ages with his captivating collections of clothing styles from bygone days. His latest entertaining and educational effort-part of Dover's popular paper doll series tracing the history of fashion-spotlights wearing apparel of the early Victorian years, from approximately 1837 to 1860, Two dolls, male and female, are accompanied by 16 full-color costumes, including capes, cloaks and twopiece suits for the gentleman, and modest day dresses, elegant off-the-shoulder evening wear, and a lovely, long-sleeved wedding gown for the lady. (As the period progressed, so did the circumference of ladies' skirts, along with elaborate bows, laces and ribbons accenting formal wear.) Providing a delightful glimpse of fashions worn during the mid-1800s, this book will not only charm paper doll devotees but will also serve as an accurate, well-researched reference to clothing styles of the early to midVictorian period.
