I love this collection. The colors are beautiful. I have other collections by Tom Tierney, but this one only has 9 costumes per gender. I noticed that some people say there is too much "near nudity", but it's nothing compared to what I see on the beach when people are in two piece bathing suits. So if you take your young child to a beach and don't mind them seeing people in bathing suits, then this collection will be just fine for young kids.
I actually got this for ideas on ancient Egyptian clothing for use on dolls. It was wonderful for that. I just wanted some good inspiration to do outfits for Barbie dolls and I did get design ideas. I have already sewn one of the outfits and it looks great on the doll!! I used braided black yarn for the wig and added the adornments in miniature that I got from this book!!!
This is a very nice, historically accurate set of paper dolls. I also enjoy the written descriptions. I would recommend this book for anyone. Some of the other reviewers have complained about nudity, but they must have a strange definitition of nude, because I didn't see any.
I purchased this book because my daughter is interested in making ancient Egyptian styled clothes for fashion dolls. A bonus to the pictures is the descriptive and informative text on the inside front and back covers.
Maybe too much detail, or suitable for teens to use in projects?? I purchased these to use with an Ancient Egyptian unit, for my elementary-aged class. I'm not a prude, but some of the body-part detail, might prove to be too much. I "extended" the costumes, or covered up certain areas, so i could still use it.
High quality paper dolls. The historical dolls are a really wonderful way to help kids really visualize history I really enjoy this set because it includes male figures for the paper dolls (usually a girl only sphere)I have made permanent paper doll stands from railings available from places like Home Depot or Lowes). If you have access to a table saw you can cut a groove into the top of the rounded part of the railing. I have found that 2" to 2-1/2" in length is good. Stain & varnish if you like. These really help to keep the dolls standing up & makes actual play more fun for children.
