Synopsis
Although King Edward VII's reign lasted only from 1901 to 1910, the Edwardian period in fashion actually began about 1880, when Victorian influence waned and Edward, Prince of Wales, and his wife, Alexandra, became world fashion leaders. Taking its cue from the royal couple, Edwardian fashion came to mean formality and opulence, and wearing the "correct" clothes on all occasions. Tom Tierney captures the extravagance and luxury of the period in this methodically researched and faithfully executed paper doll collection. Two aristocratic figures are accompanied by splendid wardrobes that include a tuxedo, walking suit, motoring costume, yachting outfit, and a Prince Albert coat for the gentleman, and a beaded, fur-trimmed evening gown, high-necked visiting dress, walking suit, promenade dress, satin dinner gown, and more for the lady. Top hats, straw hats, derbies, and other accessories complete a collection that will thrill costume histonans and designers as much as it will entertain paper doll fans.

I collect paper dolls and of course, I've got some more from Tom Tierney and think, his books are fantastic. In this book he shows some costumes from the Edwardian Era. The costumes are presented by the paper dolls Lady Beatrice and Lord Philip.
Each of the dolls has 8 costumes and they're looking fine. Especially Lady Beatrice's gowns are fantastic. She also has different hairdos on her gowns.
The costumes cover the time from 1879 to 1910 and you also get an good explanation from every costume and -like in every Tom Tierney Book- an explanation about the Edwardian Era itself.

The dolls are printed on fine thick paper, but the dresses are printed on lightweight paper. If you like to cut them out, you have to glue them on thicker paper, so they will last longer.
This book is very good and it`s cheap, but they`re could have been more costumes. That`s why I chose to give only four stars.
If you`re into paper dolls or would like to know more about History of Costumes, you should buy this book.

Plauged by a lack of variety and flimsy paper
5. März 2002
Format:Taschenbuch
Although wonderfully drawn and researched, This set of costume paper dolls is not as well-done as most Tom Tierney paper dolls. There is only one set of costumes for every 4 years, which leaves huge gaps in the fashion trends of the era. The paper used is not the usual sturdy posterboard-like material but more like glossy paper, which would not hold up to wear and tear. If you are going to buy these for costume research reasons, I would recommend "La Mode Illustree" for a lot more variety and scope. If you want to use these as paper dolls, I would not recommend these. I cannot imagine them lasting more than 1 or 2 uses.
