PATTERN RATING:Star Rating The pattern looks sound and well researched. I could have wished for more markings, though. You get one fashion doll pattern in one size that looks great made up.

INSTRUCTION RATING:Star Rating Instructions are not well broken down and have no illustration to aid the crafter. If you don't already have solid experience as a dollmaker AND working with very fine leather, these instructions probably aren't going to be enough - and leather is expensive.

SUMMARY- I've worked with leather extensively, and was able to follow along with what she wrote fairly well, but I don't think a novice could. Take that into account when deciding to buy this book. The Kid leather body looks fantastic made up and exactly like pictures I've seen of antique dolls.
