Titled Les Petites Dames de Mode ("the little ladies of fashion"), this collection of Victorian and Edwardian gowns worn by 29-inch mannequins has been displayed in prominent museums throughout the country and was the subject of a video produced in the 1990s. Not until now has the entire collection been presented in print. Featuring full-page photos of each gown, with close-up views of important details, accompanied by the designer's extensive notes on the creation of each piece, this book will be appreciated and treasured by doll collectors, costume historians, clothing designers and fashion aficionados.MiniLoverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12036464719628400715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5265120836698023886.post-62749730406469519532009-12-29T13:47:57.603-05:002009-12-29T13:47:57.603-05:00Yes, indeed, Leslie, Marie Antoinette received dol...Yes, indeed, Leslie, Marie Antoinette received dolls for her entire trousseau.

What a wonderful image!<br /><br />I have several old (though not antique) dolls that are very well loved. I also have a collectible collection of literary heroine dolls, but those are only from the early 1980s.Leslie Carrollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09024567064317102889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5265120836698023886.post-46289986387649759942009-12-29T12:19:33.228-05:002009-12-29T12:19:33.228-05:00Excellent post!
