Originally published in 1923, this rare doll clothes book contains patterns you can make to properly outfit your dolls in 1920s style. Because this book was originally intended to teach young girls how to design, cut and make clothes for their dolls, the patterns are simple and easy to follow and the instructions for making garments are outlined in step-by-step detail. Full size patterns for a romper, dress, bloomers, blouse for girl and shirt for boy are provided to fit a doll sized 14 inches from head to toe and 8 inches around the waist, with simple instructions for making larger sizes.
