First published 1999
Jean Becker provides detailed instructions for crafting 26 different costumes that bring beloved storybook characters to life. The book includes full-size patterns for outfits inspired by The Wizard of Oz, Alice in Wonderland, Cinderella, Hansel and Gretel, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, and Little Red Riding Hood. Each project features complete step-by-step guidance alongside corresponding settings to create immersive story scenes. Becker designed all patterns specifically for popular 18-inch dolls including American Girls, Gotz, Engel, and Faithful Friends brands. The comprehensive approach allows crafters to recreate entire fairy tale worlds, from Dorothy's blue gingham dress to Alice's apron and headband. Beyond individual costumes, the book enables builders of miniature worlds to construct complete narrative environments where classic stories can unfold through carefully dressed dolls in appropriate settings.
