Tom TierneyGreat Fashion Designs of the Fifties Paper Dolls in Full Colour

They are nice

A lovely book made from high quality paper and card, very well designed.

I love Tom Tierney's paperdoll books, I own several and I'm extremely happy with each book in my collection. The 1950's collection has two exquisite and lovely dolls and numerous costumes for each doll. The design of each fashion is beautiful and a true representative of the style of that period and an homage to the couture designers who created the original fashions. Each plate has a detailed summery of the couture fashion designer and the fashion itself and the book covers about ten years of 50's fashion and many designers from that period. The pages of this book are not perforated, if you wish to dress up the dolls or have purchased this for a child it will be necessary to cut all outfits and dolls out with fine point scissors. This book and others like it are in my opinion fashion books to be used as tools and guides to couture fashion and designers of the area and are not intended for children.

Made a fantastic late Christmas gift for my mother, as the last three (?!) I purchased were all canceled. The illustrations are simply beautiful, and this is a great gift for anyone into vintage fashion or old Hollywood.

This is a gift for a friend but it looks great to me.
