Customer reviews

A great book with patterns to copy to make more clothes for Barbie.

I spend hours looking through this book, imaging what kinds of fabrics to use for each vintage dress design! The author has really easy-to-understand instructions for many of Mattel's original doll outfits. It makes me, a novice seamstress feel confident and excited about sewing. It brings back memories of my childhood and watching my older sister sew clothes for my barbies! I can't wait to start making clothes for my daughter! Highly recommend.

A very detailed and describing book. Many detailed pictures.
I am somewhat disapointed in the content though. Would have expected more advanced or exiting outfits.
Many of the outfit are more "basic" than "Vintage".

There are some really sweet outfits to make for fashion dolls and patterns and instructions that make the job easier. Photos are bright and clear.

I own several pieces by Marirose and she is a dream to work with. Her work is top notch and I admire and respect her talent, but this is a review of book.

I can barely sew and these patterns work for me. I've made 3 of them so far and I have trouble even threading a needle or running a machine. The layout and explanations make sense to an amateur.

On the other hand, she reproduces patterns here for some very rare and hard to find fashions that a Professional could certainly enjoy making.

It's a great book, from a wonderful lady.

I can't say enough good, except to add that she did not ask me to review her book or anything like that.

Go Marirose!
