Excerpts

Foreword/To young dressmakers/Little girl mothers have almost as much trouble as grown-up mothers about their children's clothes. It would never do if their dollies were not stylishly dressed; yet how to manage it is the bother.....This book....will show you how to have your dollies beautifully dressed without troubling big people or costing much money.
added by Katharine Hadow.
Chapter VI/The Party Dress/This dainty dress [Fig. 32] may be just as elaborate as possible. The more lace and insertion used the fluffier and prettier it will look.
Page 57, added by Katharine Hadow.
Chapter VII/Dolly's Street Clothes/Here is Dolly dressed for a walk. Her coat may be made from any desired material. If for a very dressy one, cut from velvet or heavy silk. Serge or thin broadcloth, trimmed with braid and small fancy buttons, makes a smart little coat. Of the wash materials, flannel and pique are perhaps the favorites.
Page 63, added by Katharine Hadow.

Children of doll age are sewing some sophisticated clothes.
