Each of the basic doll costume patterns in this book are designed to fit dolls that are 14-16 inches, 17-19 inches, 20-22 inches, or 23-25 inches high. Pattern pieces for each costume are given for one size and one size only. If your doll is not that size you will need to modify the pattern to fit. Christina Harris gives detailed directions on how to measure your doll and make the basic adjustments to the pattern.

The garments are made mainly on a sewing machine with hems and finishing work done by hand. Christina lists the tools and equipment you will need as well as giving detailed directions for the basic techniques and stitches. (If you have never made a doll shoe to match a doll costume before you will be surprised how easily you can make an authentic leather shoe with a sole using this book!)
