About this title

Synopsis

From dust jacket notes: "...The author gives detailed instructions to her fellow doll-hobbyists for the making of Godey Lady Dolls. She tells the reader how to make the soft doll bodies, how to model the face, hands and feet, how to paint the face and hands, how, and with what materials - brocades, laces, ribbons and the like - to concoct the little hoop-skirt dresses. There are exact patterns for the doll bodies and the dresses....There are a number of reproductions of fashion models from the original Godey's Lady's Book, besides the fifteen meticulously scaled-to-size dress patterns that anyone can follow, and also twenty-two scale drawings of the miniature furniture from which anyone with a little knack at carpentry can create the small sized rooms and furnishings in which to show off the charm and beauty of the dolls themselves...."
