It was the era of little Lord Fauntleroy suits for boys, ruffles and lace for girls, white tie and tails for men, and bustles, high-necked dresses, and gloves for well-dressed ladies. Paper doll artist Brenda Sneathen Mattox captures the spirit of the Gilded Age with a charming collection featuring a proper Victorian couple and their two children. Exquisitely draped "best" dresses for shopping excursions, visiting, and a family wedding, a sporty ensemble for lawn croquet, and more are important items in Mother's wardrobe. Father boasts equally stylish wear for business appointments, a day on the town with his fashionable young wife, a morning suit for a wedding, and a linen suit for casual wear. Clothing for the youngsters ranges from night clothes and beachwear to appropriate apparel for school and special occasions. The family cat and dog, as well as assorted headgear, parasols, and other period accessories complete this engaging collection of authentic Victorian-era costumes that will delight collectors, nostalgia lovers, and paper doll fans of all ages.
