Meet three 16- to 18-inch designer dolls with lineages similar to those of such couture wearables as Rodarte and the late Alexander McQueens. No wonder, since their UK creator, Horrox, has extensive experience in textiles and fashion. Her training shows, first, in the explanation of materials, tools, and equipment, with careful listing of both required and not-so-necessary tools. General how-to instructions follow, emphasizing the actual crafting of two different types of hands and faces, well illustrated with color photographs. Tips, some helpful, some not-so, are scattered throughout in shaded boxes, ranging from a reminder to craft both right and left feet to the steps of sewing the ladder stitch. Then the dolls debut, each with a second variation. Meet Miranda, Anastasia (woodland nymph), and Titania (yes, the fairy), all delightfully posed and designed to brighten the living space or bedroom of anyone, of any age. Eight pages of templates are appended.
