Among these twenty projects are play clothes, suits, overalls, pinafores, and exquisite party dresses. Full-color photographs showcase each garment being "modeled" by a doll or teddy bear.

From Library Journal:

This book should interest many of the same patrons who check out Lyn Waring's Hats in Miniature (see review below). Although patterns are designed for 12", 14", 16", and 18" dolls, instructions for measuring your doll and adjusting the patterns to fit make the book of interest to almost any doll collector. Make no mistake: these clothes, while easy to sew, are quite attractive. Although purchased laces and trims cut sewing time, the more ambitious doll clothier can fancy up these creations even further. Crane is an accomplished watercolorist, and her illustrations add the flavor of a beautifully illustrated children's book to this volume. Each design includes a photograph of a doll or teddy bear wearing the garment, a drawing of the completed design, drawn full-size patterns, a materials list, and step-by-step instructions. Highly recommended for public libraries and subject collections.
